# XXXVI. GMP functions

# Einführung

These functions allow you to work with arbitrary-length integers using the GNU MP library.

These functions have been added in PHP 4.0.4.

> Anmerkung: Most GMP functions accept GMP number arguments, defined as `resource` below. However, most of these functions will also accept numeric and string arguments, given that it is possible to convert the latter to a number. Also, if there is a faster function that can operate on integer arguments, it would be used instead of the slower function when the supplied arguments are integers. This is done transparently, so the bottom line is that you can use integers in every function that expects GMP number. See also the gmp_init() function.

Warnung
If you want to explicitly specify a large integer, specify it as a string. If you don't do that, PHP will interpret the integer-literal first, possibly resulting in loss of precision, even before `GMP` comes into play.

# Anforderungen

You can download the GMP library from http://www.swox.com/gmp/. This site also has the GMP manual available.

You will need GMP version 2 or better to use these functions. Some functions may require more recent version of the GMP library.

# Installation

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with GMP support by using the `--with-gmp` option.

# Laufzeit Konfiguration

Diese Erweiterung definiert keine Konfigurationseinstellungen in der `php.ini`.

# Resource Typen

Diese Erweiterung definiert keine Resource-Typen.

# Vordefinierte Konstanten

Folgende Konstanten werden von dieser Erweiterung definiert und stehen nur zur Verfügung, wenn die Erweiterung entweder statisch in PHP kompiliert oder dynamisch zur Laufzeit geladen wurde.

`GMP_ROUND_ZERO` (integer)

`GMP_ROUND_PLUSINF` (integer)

`GMP_ROUND_MINUSINF` (integer)

# Beispiele

Beispiel 1. Factorial function using GMP

    <?php
    function fact ($x) {
        if ($x <= 1)
            return 1;
        else
            return gmp_mul ($x, fact ($x-1));
    }

    print gmp_strval (fact (1000)) . "\n";
    ?>

This will calculate factorial of 1000 (pretty big number) very fast.
