Convert float to string in php?

Question

Like:

float(1.2345678901235E+19) => string(20) \"12345678901234567890\"

Can it be done?

(it\'s for json_decode...)

Answer 1

I solved this issue by passing the argument JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING for the options parameter.

json_decode($json, false, 512, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING)

See example #5 in the json_decode documentation
