Name
BCMath Arbitrary Precision Mathematics
Synopsis
If you need more precision in numbers than PHP provides by default with its built-in floating-point numbers, use the BCMath library. It provides support for arbitrary precision mathematics.
To use the BCMath functions, you must compile PHP with the
--enable-bcmath directive.
