How can the issue of a BIGINT UNSIGNED value being out of range in PHP be resolved?

When working with BIGINT UNSIGNED values in PHP, you may encounter an issue where the value is out of range. This is because PHP does not support unsigned integers directly. To resolve this issue, you can use the PHP BCMath extension to handle large numbers as strings. 

$value = '18446744073709551615'; // Maximum value for BIGINT UNSIGNED
$result = bcadd($value, '1'); // Add 1 to the value using BCMath functions
echo $result; // Output: 18446744073709551616
