    The correct implementation of asinh(x) for Windows plataform is:

    -------------------------------------------------------
    function asinh($x)
    {
    return ln($x + sqrt(1 + pow($x, 2)));
    }

    function ln($x)
    {
    return $x = log($x)/log(M_E);
    }
    --------------------------------------------------------

    The worksheet above includes a comparation about the native asinh(x) and the implemented version using LN and LOG (like Snoyes posted on 27-Dec-2005 07:42)

    http://www.mavadesign.com.br/allan/asinh(x).xls

    This implementation using LN, give THE SAME results that function asinh(x) linux native.

    asinh for windows:

    The definition for asinh is asinh(z) = log(z + sqrt(z^2 + 1))

    The built-in math functions and operators give poor results for small values of z. The BCMath version produces closer results, but still quite distant if z < 1. A BCMath version of the log function might help.

    if (!function_exists("asinh")) {
    function asinh($z) {
    return log($z + sqrt($z^2 +1));
    }
    }

    if (!function_exists("bcasinh")) {
    function bcasinh($z) {
    return log(bcadd($z, bcsqrt(bcadd(bcpow($z, 2), 1))));
    }
    }
