The size of an 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 a server to string. Never casts 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.
