Facebook Ads API PHP: How to get the adaccounts of Custom Audience

Question

Can any one tell me the correct way of getting the ids of account which are sharing one Custom Audience i.e. adaccounts
Query in PHP using API v2.4

$account = new AdAccount($accountId);
    $fields = array(
        CustomAudienceFields::ID,
        CustomAudienceFields::NAME, 
        CustomAudienceFields::SUBTYPE,
        CustomAudienceFields::ACCOUNT_ID,
        CustomAudienceFields::ADACCOUNTS,
    );
    $params = array('filters'=>array(
                    array(
                        'field'=>'subtype',
                        'type'=>'in',
                        'value'=>['WEBSITE','CUSTOM'],
                    ),
                ),);    

    $CustomAudience = $account->getCustomAudiences($fields,$params);

Results

[adaccounts] => Array ( [data] => Array ( [0] => 9.1432423423488E+14 [1] => 8.9623423402405E+14 [2] => 8.71252342345443E+14 [3] => 8.832242342342387E+14 [4] => 8.92234234079338E+14 ) )

Note: I added this property myself in CustomAudienceFileds.php:
"CustomAudienceFields::ADACCOUNTS"

PROBLEM
All values are in float or I don't know what these values are actually. I converted these values to int but they appeared to be in negative and wrong account ids.
Please let me know what what and where I am wrong.

Its working absolutely fine in Graph Api Explorer tool when I Query this:
Query in Graph Api Explorer v2.4:
act_34234234234344/customaudiences?fields=adaccounts
Results:
"adaccounts": { "data": [ 534534534534555, 564563453454534, 345345345345345, 234234234234234 ] }

It looks like your PHP isn't able to handle the 64 bit ints in the response - does it work with other responses from the API? Also, does it work with Facebook's main SDK or are you only trying with the 'ads' specific version? — Igy, Aug 05 '15 at 18:39
I am using Facebook ads sdk. On other places I am fetching accounts ids (64 bit int) and they are displayed properly!!! — Tami, Aug 06 '15 at 08:49
On what platform/OS? Does your install of PHP support 64 bit ints? — Igy, Aug 06 '15 at 15:14
OS: Windows 7 64 bit and PHP 5.5.2. Thanks for your moral support lgy :) i found a workaround for this problem which i will write as answer. — Tami, Aug 06 '15 at 15:27

Actually the values returned in response were in scientific notation, so simply iterated through each value(adaccountid) and convert it into integer using spinrtf, like this:

$i =0;
foreach ($CustomAudience as $audience) {
  foreach($audience->adaccounts['data'] as $accountid)
  {
    if($i ==0)
        $info["adaccountsIds"] =  sprintf('%.0F',$accountid);
    else
        $info["adaccountsIds"] .= ','.sprintf('%.0F',$accountid);

   $i++;
  }
}

I will not say it answer, its a work around. Still more answers are welcome
