PHP Math Functions

PHP Math Functions are use to perform some mathematical operations on integer and float values.

Built-in PHP Math Functions version 4+:

S.No.	Function	Description
	abs()	Returns the absolute (positive) value of a number
	ceil()	Round number up to the nearest integer.
	floor()	Round number down to the nearest integer.
	round()	Round the number.
	max()	Returns the largest number from an array.
	min()	Returns the smallest number from an array.
	fmod()	Returns the remainder (modulo)
	pi() M_PI	Return the value of PI.
	rand() mt_rand()	Generate random numbers. mt_rand() function is 4 times faster than rand() function.
	pow()	Return x raised to the power y.
	sqrt()	Return the square root of a number.
	sin()	Return the sine value of a number.
	cos()	Return the cosine value of a number.
	tan()	Return the tangent value of a number.

Abs() Function

echo(abs(10.5)); //return 10.5
echo(abs(-10.5)); //return 10.5

Ceil Function

echo(ceil(5.1)); //return 6 

Floor Function

echo(floor(5.9)); //return 5

Round Function

echo(round(10.50)); //return 11
echo(round(10.49)); //return 10
echo(round(10.34726,2)); //return 10.35

Max Function

echo(max(array(33,67,23,78,47))); //return 78
echo(max(33,67,23,78,47)); //return 78
