hi,

i get from a API a JSON-String with the field:

"id":1070107173001

with json_decode i get:

id = 1.070107173E+12

and i can't work with this value ... is this right, what can i do?

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.
