bccomp

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

bccomp -- Compare two arbitrary precision numbers

说明

int bccomp ( string left_operand, string right_operand [, int scale] )

Compares the left_operand to the right_operand and returns the result as an integer.

参数

left_operand

The left operand, as a string.

right_operand

The right operand, as a string.

scale

The optional scale parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place which will be used in the comparison.

返回值

Returns 0 if the two operands are equal, 1 if the left_operand is larger than the right_operand, -1 otherwise.

<?php

echo bccomp('1', '2') . "\n";   // -1
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 3); // 0

I slapped together min() and max() functions using bccomp().  While min() and max() only take an arbitrary number of args (i.e. max(1, 5, 1235, 12934, 66)) bccomp only takes 2.

Note that this doesn't take into account $scale.

<?php

function bcmax() {
 
$max = null;
  foreach(
func_get_args() as $value) {
   if (
$max == null) {
    
$max = $value;
   } else if (
bccomp($max, $value) < 0) {
    
$max = $value;
   }
  }
  return
$max;
}

function
bcmin() {
 
$min = null;
  foreach(
func_get_args() as $value) {
   if (
$min == null) {
    
$min = $value;
   } else if (
bccomp($min, $value) > 0) {
    
$min = $value;
   }
  }
  return
$min;
}
?>

Note that the above function defeats the purpose of BCMath functions, for it uses the 'conventional' < operator.
Instead, it should be:
<?php
function my_bccomp_zero($amount, $scale)
{
   if (@
$amount{0}=="-")
   {
       return
bccomp($amount, '-0.0', $scale);
   }
   else
   {
       return
bccomp($amount, '0.0', $scale);
   }
}
?>
