Large numbers in php

Have been learning php for a while now and recently tried to do some of the euler projects to get some practice but I've found that many of them use very large numbers e.g. 2^1000. When these are calculated, they are stored in standard form. For example, the previous example would be 1.0715086071863E+301. This is pretty useless so is there any way of stopping this from happening. Thanks.
