PHP 5.1.2 allows 51 numbers after decimal point when changing precision to whatever value.
You can easily generate the Pi value using:
<?php
ini_set("precision","8000");
$r=22/7;
echo $r; // Outputs 3.142857142857142793701541449991054832935333251953125
?>
This is more accurate than comments below, though I am not sure about 51 numbers after decimal point
in versions below 5.1.2
