#38746 [NEW]: number_format() returns 'inf' for too large numbers

From: carlsagan43 at antidom dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: Math related Bug description: number_format() returns 'inf' for too large numbers Description: ------------ This isnt directly something wrong, but it does need to be addressed: When working with large numbers in BCmath, the need to output the number comes about. When trying to use the function number_format(), it returns 'inf'. This function should be changed to also accept strings that are composed or digits. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo number_format(bcpow('1000', '1000')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (with commas) Actual result: -------------- inf -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38746&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38746&r=mysqlcfg
