64 bit Int Error on windows server 2012 R2 64 bit and PHP 64 bit

Tshiamo T.

Hi,

I setup an amazon instance with windows server 2012 R2 and installed 64 bit PHP 5.5.22. I'm getting this error:

Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'The Dropbox SDK uses 64-bit integers, but it looks like we're running on a version of PHP that doesn't support 64-bit integers (PHP_INT_MAX=2147483647).  Library: "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dropbox\dropboxCoreApi\lib\Dropbox\RequestUtil.php"' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dropbox\dropboxCoreApi\lib\Dropbox\RequestUtil.php:22

Please assist. Have I done something wrong in the setup?

Due to the size of certain numbers used by the SDK, it requires a 64-bit build of PHP in order to run properly. (Or more specifically, the SDK checks the size of PHP_INT_MAX, as some of the numbers, like file sizes, quota, etc, can be larger than 32-bit ints can handle.) It sounds like you currently only have a 32-bit ints available though, as otherwise the number shown would be much higher. How you make this available will depend a bit on your platform though, and is outside the scope of Dropbox API support, so I'm afraid I won't be able to be offer much more insight. (It looks like there's some information here though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17837157/php-64-bit-with-php-int-max-2147483647 )
