TA>> Yes! - Do that. TA>> TA>> Also: TA>> His extension only implements a tiny subset of gmp (one function, TA>> actually); please ask him if he has plans for extending the extension. Another wildly crazy idea would be to integrate gmp as a "large number" format for PHP. Yes, I know this will require a significant amount of work. Maybe for 4.1 :) But then we can say "PHP natively supports arbitrarily large number" and give out scripts calculating 100! (that's factorial) and doing RSA in PHP :) That would also solve all our "integer<->float" problems.
