facebook credit callback, order_id changes format changes after moving to a new server

Question

I've just migrated to a new server, still linux based. After moving I saw a change in behavior - for some reason the order id send by the facebook credits callback in the payload formatted as : 2.6040261734251E+14 instead of : 143121239125639 (these are not necessarily the same order numbers, just refer to the format)...

The format arrives like that directly when taken from the $_REQUEST, and before the DB insert... Anyone has any idea maybe why would the format change/arrive like that? Thanks!

--- edit --- I'm getting the variable from the signed request using the parse_signed_request function:

    function parse_signed_request($signed_request, $secret) {
  list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $signed_request, 2);

  // decode the data
  $sig = base64_url_decode($encoded_sig);
  $data = json_decode(base64_url_decode($payload), true);

  if (strtoupper($data['algorithm']) !== 'HMAC-SHA256') {
    error_log('Unknown algorithm. Expected HMAC-SHA256');
    mail('example@example.com','server error','Unknown algorithm. Expected HMAC-SHA256');
    return null;
  }

  // check signature
  $expected_sig = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $secret, $raw = true);
  if ($sig !== $expected_sig) {
    error_log('Bad Signed JSON signature!');
    return null;
  }

  return $data;
}

As Charley P. noticed, i'm indeed using a 32 bit server instead of the 64 bit previous server. Could that somehow ruin the function above which uses

json_decode(base64_url_decode($payload), true);

Thanks again...

very odd indeed... when entered to the DB its actually almost ok, but the last digit turns to 0 instead if the real one... — Yanipan, Nov 22 '11 at 06:52

Your old server must have been 64bit and your new server is 32bit

Try to use the original numbers as string

Thanks for the answer... I'm not doing any numeric manipulation on the value, I just pass it true facebooks parse_signed_request function when getting it from the signed request to decode it... any idea maybe i'm in a bit of a dead end... – Yanipan Nov 22 '11 at 07:09
@Yanipan So the problem is with the final number in your database? Could you provide an example of the code you use to insert the number into your table? – Charley P. Nov 22 '11 at 07:55
