Beware that negative zero does not compare equal to positive zero.

bccomp — Compare two arbitrary precision numbers
Compares the num1 to the
num2 and returns the result as an
integer.
num1The left operand, as a string.
num2The 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.
Returns 0 if the two operands are equal, 1 if the
num1 is larger than the
num2, -1 otherwise.

Example #1 bccomp() example
<?php
echo bccomp('1', '2') . "\n"; // -1
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 3); // 0
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 5); // 1
?>BEWARE! left and right operand is string!! so number in E-notation like 9.012E-6 need to be converted with sprintf('%F') to stringImprovement of functions bcmax() and bcmin() originaly written by frank at booksku dot com
<?php
function bcmax() {
$args = func_get_args();
if (count($args)==0) return false;
$max = $args[0];
foreach($args as $value) {
if (bccomp($value, $max)==1) {
$max = $value;
}
}
return $max;
}
function bcmin() {
$args = func_get_args();
if (count($args)==0) return false;
$min = $args[0];
foreach($args as $value) {
if (bccomp($min, $value)==1) {
$min = $value;
}
}
return $min;
}
?>
