BigInteger wrapper library for PHP

Information

This library is a common interface for php_gmp and php_bcmath modules. It automatically detects supported modules and uses the best of them (gmp>bcmath). Gmp is a lot faster, but is also missing on many hosting services -- that is why this wrapper has been created. It is used for example in encryption functions of the PrivMX WebMail software.

Installation

You can install this library via Composer:

composer require simplito/bigint-wrapper-php

Documentation

If you want to force using a specific implementation, then define constant S_MATH_BIGINTEGER_MODE - set it to "gmp" or "bcmath". If you do not do this, mode of operation and the constant will be set automatically.

If there are no gmp and bcmath modules, an exception will be thrown. If you want to prevent this, then simply define S_MATH_BIGINTEGER_QUIET constant.

All functions of this library are implemented as members of class BigInteger, which is located under BI namespace. Instances of BigInteger are immutable - member functions usually return new instances of the BigInteger class.

ConvertibleToBi - a placeholder type

To make the below documentation more readable we use the "ConvertibleToBi" type symbol, which in reality can be one of the following types:

• an instance of the BigInteger class
• an integer
• a decimal string
• a gmp resource or class (only when you are in gmp mode)

If you have a non-decimal string and want to use it -- first you have to convert it to BigInteger class using:

new BigInteger($myNonDecimalString, $baseOfMyNonDecimalString)

BI\BigInteger class members

construct(ConvertibleToBi $value = 0, int $base = 10)

Creates a new instance of BigInteger. If you pass an invalid value, an exception will be thrown. If $base === true then passed $value will be used without any check and conversion. Supported bases: 2, 10, 16, 256.

• GMP implementation: gmp_init + bin2hex for 256 base
• Bcmath implementation: custom(bcadd + bcmul)

static BigInteger|false createSafe(ConvertibleToBi $value = 0, int $base = 10)

Creates a new BigInteger instance in the same way as constructor, but if there is an error, false will be returned instead of throwing an exception.
