<simpara>
Returns an approximation of pi. The returned <type>float</type>
has a precision based on the
<link linkend="ini.precision">precision</link> directive in
&php.ini;, which defaults to <literal>14</literal>.
Also, you can use the <constant>M_PI</constant> constant which yields
identical results to <function>pi</function>.
