Problems with PDO for PostgreSQL on 32-bit machine

Size of integer in PHP depends on machine, it has 32 bits on 32-bit architectures, and 64 on 64-bit architectures.

On 32-bit machines PDO for PostgreSQL always convert bigint numbers returned by server to string. Never cast to integer even if value of bigint would fit in 32-bit signed integer.

Type bigint is returned for example by COUNT and SUM functions.

On 64-bit machines there is no such problem because PHP integer is the same as bigint.
