bccomp
If you don't have bcmath installed and you need to use bcdiv() with a defined precision / scale you may need this function:
if( !function_exists( "bcdiv" ) )
{
function bcdiv( $first, $second, $scale = 0 )
{
$res = $first / $second;
return round( $res, $scale );
}
}
bcdiv
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
bcdiv — Divide two arbitrary precision numbers
Description
string bcdiv
( string $left_operand
, string $right_operand
[, int $scale
] )
Divides the left_operand by the right_operand .
Parameters
- left_operand
-
The left operand, as a string.
- right_operand
-
The right operand, as a string.
- scale
-
This optional parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place in the result. You can also set the global default scale for all functions by using bcscale().
Return Values
Returns the result of the division as a string, or NULL if right_operand is 0.
Examples
Example #1 bcdiv() example
<?php
echo bcdiv('105', '6.55957', 3); // 16.007
?>

Perhaps some one can find useful this function to compute the modular inverse of a integer (extended euclidean algorithm):
function invmod($a,$b) {
$n=$b;
$x=0; $lx=1; $y=1; $ly=0;
while ($b) {
$t=$b;
$q=bcdiv($a,$b,0);
$b=bcmod($a,$b);
$a=$t;
$t=$x; $x=bcsub($lx,bcmod(bcmul($q,$x),$n)); $lx=$t;
$t=$y; $y=bcsub($ly,bcmod(bcmul($q,$y),$n)); $ly=$t;
}
if (bccomp($lx,0) == -1)
$lx=bcadd($lx,$n);
return $lx;
}
// verify
$n="2447995268898324993537772139997802321";
$t="64941057316178801556773346239351236811";
$m="123456789";
$i=invmod($t,$n);
// (t*m)*inv(t) is m
echo bcmod(bcmul(bcmod(bcmul($t,$m),$n),$i),$n) == $m;

<?php
//converting in to required precision of decimal points
$result= bcdiv(89.99999999997,2.57865741235478,2);
echo "$result"; // 34.90 result with 2 decimal points
?>

Decimal to binary conversion, using BC Math.
Note: this function is VERY slow if the decimal number is too big!
<?
function bc_decbin($dec_str) {
if (strlen($dec_str)>0) {
$bin_str = '';
do {
if (((int)$dec_str[strlen($dec_str)-1] % 2) === 0)
$bin_str .= '0';
else
$bin_str .= '1';
$dec_str = bcdiv($dec_str, '2');
} while ($dec_str!='0');
return strrev($bin_str);
}
else
return null;
}
?>
