I can't see how that is possible, once its 'floated' the precise int is gone.
although you might consider returning the given mysql bigint field as a
string 'CAST() AS STRING' (or whatever the syntax is) and then using the string
inconjunction with
the bc or gmp extensions.

keep them as strings - and/or use a 64bit machine?
a 64bit machine would make the number larger, not unlimited :)
