<?php

$steam_id=strtolower($steamid);

if (substr($steam_id,0,7)=='steam_0') {

$tmp=explode(':',$steam_id);

}

if ((count($tmp)==3) && is_numeric($tmp[1]) && is_numeric($tmp[2])){

 

 //The 'Magic Number': 76561197960265728

 //Split up so it can be calculated without an extension.

 



 

$steamidCalc=($tmp[2]*2)+$tmp[1]; //Work out step 1

$calckey='1197960265728'; //Second bit of the magic number

$pre='7656'; //First bit of the magic number

    

$steamcid=$steamidCalc+$calckey; //works out the ending of the steam community ID

    

$link="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/";

echo $link; echo $pre; echo $steamcid;

 

 };



?>

By breaking off a few digit, it prevents php from outputting the number using scientific notation.
This does however, mean that this will have to be updated once there are enough steam accounts to make the numbers roll over.

Hope that's helpful to someone

Thanks!
