Assert Type is Numeric fails on Int32 limitation

[stefantalen]

Hi,

I have an entity called Telephone with an validation constraint on the number:

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Telephone extends ContactMethod
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer", nullable=true)
     * @Assert\Type(type="numeric")
     */
    protected $countrycode;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, nullable=true)
     * @Assert\Type(type="numeric")
     */
    protected $number;
}

However when I try to set the value of $number to 2821760000 it is marked as "invalid".

Locally I'm not experiencing this problem (Mac OS X 10.9) but on our dedicated server with Windows Server 2003 x86, PHP 5.4.5 and Symfony 2.2.10 the validation fails.

well, the numeric type is checked with is_numeric. So this should probably be reported to PHP instead if you consider it as a bug.

There is a RFC on the php side which will also add support for 64bit integers on 32bit platforms. Probably in 5.6. However if you ask me it's a little to late. I've switched all my platforms to 64bit and AFAIK Windows 8 is the last generation of 32bit consumer OSes from MS.

The Type constraint supports the ctype_*() functions, so you should set the type to "digit".
