PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP (int)
Rounding half away from zero.
PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN (int)
Rounding half toward zero.
PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN (int)
Round halves to even numbers
PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD (int)
Round halves to odd numbers

I just learnt of INF today and found out that it can be used in comparisons:

echo 5000 < INF ? 'yes' : 'no'; // outputs 'yes'
echo INF < INF ? 'yes' : 'no'; // outputs 'no'
echo INF <= INF ? 'yes' : 'no'; // outputs 'yes'
echo INF == INF ? 'yes' : 'no'; // outputs 'yes'

You can also take its negative:

echo -INF < -5000 ? 'yes' : 'no'; // outputs 'yes'

Division by INF is allowed:

echo 1/INF; // outputs '0'

There are also the predefined PHP_INT_MAX and PHP_INT_SIZE constants, that describe the range of possible integer values.

Although INF can be used for comparison against normal numbers and as a directed number, and behaves as reciprocal of zero, it is not like limit INF tends to infinity. These operations do not work:

<?php
var_dump
(INF / INF); // float(NAN)
var_dump(INF - INF); // float(NAN)
?>

However, it works with arc-tangent:
<?php
var_dump
(atan(INF) / M_PI); // float(0.5)
var_dump(atan2(INF, INF) / M_PI); // float(0.25)
var_dump(atan2(1, INF) / M_PI); // float(0)
?>

From PHP 7.2.0, the PHP_FLOAT_* constants are provided to describe the properties of floating point numbers that can be stored; PHP_FLOAT_MAX, for example, is analogous to PHP_INT_MAX and represents the largest possible floating-point number.
