note 65701 deleted from function.bcdiv by didou

Note Submitter: Robert Lozyniak ---- Let me see if I can clarify: If you pass a _string_ such as "1E2" to a BC math function, it will stop reading as soon as it sees the "E". (The BC math functions do not know scientific notation.) If you set the variable $foo equal to the _numeric_ 1E2, the variable $foo will then contain the mathematical number known as "one hundred". If you then pass $foo to a BC math function, PHP will convert the contents of $foo (the mathematical number one hundred) into the string "100". This is the same exact behaviour you would get if you tried to evaluate $foo." apples": you have something which expects a string but you are passing it a number, so the number gets converted to a string. However, if you try to pass a googol (or rather, the closest IEEE double-precision floating-point number to a googol) to BC math this way, I would not expect it to work. Why? Because PHP would try to write that googol (excuse me, approximation to a googol) in scientific notation (it would, wouldn't it? I'm too lazy to try it), and BC math does not know scientific notation. So there.
