Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

$json = new CkJsonObject();

// If a number is too large for a 32-bit signed integer, then call UpdateNumber instead of UpdateInt.
// The large integer is passed to UpdateNumber as a string, but in the JSON it will be an integer.

// For example:
$json->UpdateNumber('largeNumber','6884556842');

// If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
$json->UpdateInt('reasonableInt',123456);

$json->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $json->emit() . "\n";

// The output:
// Notice the large number passed as a string does not have quotes in the JSON

// {
//   "largeNumber": 6884556842,
//   "reasonableInt": 123456
// }
