That's not true. On a 64-bit platform, you should run a 64-bit build Windows. The problem on Windows was that its "long" is an int32_t, but this all got resolved with PHP 7.0 (out for 2+ years), where it now uses an int64_t-like type.
Should you use it? Yes, absolutely. But there are still LTS deployments that have this problem, and some common starter-kit local environments that are still bundled with 32-bit PHP. This pops up three or four times a year for me in the Drupal issue queues.
Even on 32-bit PHP builds, the Date/Time classes wrap a 64-bit int. cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Like Xdebug? Consider a donation: https://xdebug.org/donate.php, or become my Patron: https://www.patreon.com/derickr twitter: @derickr and @xdebug
