Hi, I have a problem that I have no idea how to solve. I am using PHP to create huge numbers, but when I ouput the number, it gives me something like this:
2763.293E+25. How do I prevent that from happening?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can enlighten me(and hopefully help me)!

I think these will make your numbers come out right.

<i>
</i>a=10000000001
b=20000000001

echo (a*b); /*You were trying to do math this way */
echo bcmul( (string)a, (string)b ); /* But this way is better for your purpose */

@aznchong91authorAug 17.2005 — when i do it, it says bcmul() is an undefined function. Is there a certain PHP requirement or something? Or am I doing it wrong?

$first='59826349829';

$second='2305972';

$third=bcmul($first,$second);

Thanks!
