Yes, it is correct. The value is larger than a 32 bit integer can hold,
so PHP creates a float type out of it.

In my computer, it creates a float but it doesn't lose precision. You
should be able to work with it without any problem.

If you are getting scientific notation it's because you are casting it
to string with a function that does not let you choose the format. Just
handle it as number.
