GMP Functions

Introductie

These functions allow you to work with arbitrary-length integers using the GNU MP library.

These functions have been added in PHP 4.0.4.

Note: Most GMP functions accept GMP number arguments, defined as resource below. However, most of these functions will also accept numeric and string arguments, given that it is possible to convert the latter to a number. Also, if there is a faster function that can operate on integer arguments, it would be used instead of the slower function when the supplied arguments are integers. This is done transparently, so the bottom line is that you can use integers in every function that expects GMP number. See also the gmp_init() function.

Warning

If you want to explicitly specify a large integer, specify it as a string. If you don't do that, PHP will interpret the integer-literal first, possibly resulting in loss of precision, even before GMP comes into play.

Note: This extension is available on Windows platforms since PHP 5.1.0.

Afhankelijkheden

You can download the GMP library from » https://www.swox.com/gmp/. This site also has the GMP manual available.

You will need GMP version 2 or better to use these functions. Some functions may require more recent version of the GMP library.

Installatie

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with GMP support by using the --with-gmp option.

Configuratie tijdens scriptuitvoer

Deze extensie gebruikt geen configuratie regels.

Resource types

Most GPM functions operate on or return GMP number resources.

Voorgedefinieerde constanten

Deze constanten worden gedefinieerd door deze extensie, en zullen alleen beschikbaar zijn als de extensie met PHP is meegecompileerd, of als deze dynamisch is geladen vanuit een script.

GMP_ROUND_ZERO (integer)
GMP_ROUND_PLUSINF (integer)
GMP_ROUND_MINUSINF (integer)
GMP_VERSION (string): The GMP library version

Voorbeelden

Example#1 Factorial function using GMP


<?php
function fact($x) 
{
    $return = 1;
    for ($i=2; $i < $x; $i++) {
        $return = gmp_mul($return, $i);
    }
    return $return;
}

echo gmp_strval(fact(1000)) . "\n";
?>
