Hello, I am attempting to convert this code for generating the digits of pi from the original C (below) to PHP. long k=4e3,p,a[337],q,t=1e3; main(j){for(;a[j=q=0]+=2,--k;) for(p=1+2*k;j<337;q=a[j]*k+q%p*t,a[j++]=q/p) k!=j>2?:printf("%.3d",a[j-2]%t+q/p/t);}

wow this is rather bad. it would probably be better to write this in asm, it would be easier to read than the way it is in C.

I converted this to a more readable form:

what about using: php.net/pi note the precision description. or are we talking about a different pi. Curt.
