Note that bcmath doesn't seem to handle numbers in exponential notation (i.e. "1e4"), although PHP considers such a value a number. example: $exp1 = "1E5"; $exp2 = "2E4"; $ans1 = bcadd($exp1, $exp2, 3); $ans2 = $exp1 + exp2; echo("bcadd: $exp1 + $exp2 = $ans1"); echo("php: $exp1 + $exp2 = $ans2"); // Output: bcadd: 1E5 + 2E4 = 0.000 php: 1E5 + 2E4 = 120000 Just a gotcha if you're using passing PHP numbers into bcmath functions... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.bc.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23037 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23037 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23037
