PHP - gmp Functions
What is GMP?
GMP stands for GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP).
GMP is a library supported in PHP that allows you to do mathematical operations on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers.GMP has a rich collection of functions that helps to perform complex mathematical operations on big numbers. GMP is said to be faster in computing the final result on very huge numbers.
GMP is very useful in applications like cyptography, internet security, and also in softwares that deal with arithmetic operations.
GMP installation in PHP
GMP module is by default added to PHP. You can activate the same by removing the (;) ;extension=gmp added at the start of the extension in php.ini. After that restart apache and to confirm if the changes are reflecting.Save below code as .php and execute the same in the browser.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
You should see the GMP enabled in the browser as shown below −
