Math

&reftitle.intro; These math functions will only handle values within the range of the integer and float types on your computer. (this corresponds currently to the C types long resp. double) If you need to handle bigger numbers, take a look at the arbitrary precision math functions.

&reftitle.constants; The following values are defined as constants in PHP by the math extension: Constant Value Description M_PI 3.14159265358979323846 Pi M_E 2.7182818284590452354 e M_LOG2E 1.4426950408889634074 log_2 e M_LOG10E 0.43429448190325182765 log_10 e M_LN2 0.69314718055994530942 log_e 2 M_LN10 2.30258509299404568402 log_e 10 M_PI_2 1.57079632679489661923 pi/2 M_PI_4 0.78539816339744830962 pi/4 M_1_PI 0.31830988618379067154 1/pi M_2_PI 0.63661977236758134308 2/pi M_SQRTPI 1.77245385090551602729 sqrt(pi) [4.0.2] M_2_SQRTPI 1.12837916709551257390 2/sqrt(pi) M_SQRT2 1.41421356237309504880 sqrt(2) M_SQRT3 1.73205080756887729352 sqrt(3) [4.0.2] M_SQRT1_2 0.70710678118654752440 1/sqrt(2) M_LNPI 1.14472988584940017414 log_e(pi) [4.0.2] M_EULER 0.57721566490153286061 Euler constant [4.0.2] Only M_PI is available in PHP versions up to and including PHP 4.0.0. All other constants are available starting with PHP 4.0.0. Constants labeled [4.0.2] were added in PHP 4.0.2.
