If the timestamp cannot be represented as &integer;, a
DateRangeError is thrown. Prior to PHP
8.3.0, a ValueError is thrown. And, prior to
PHP 8.0.0, &false; was returned in this case. Still, the timestamp can be
retrieved as &string; by using
DateTimeInterface::format with the
U format.

microsecond resolution, then you can use the
DateTimeInterface::format function.
Retrieving timestamp with milli and microsecond resolution

format('Uv'); // Timestamp in milliseconds
$micro = (int) $date->format('Uu'); // Timestamp in microseconds
echo $milli, "\n", $micro, "\n";
