BCmath php 64bit

Question

i'm using BCmath to do math with 64 bit unsigned integers, i want to make a bcmath-object to a normal int (high, low part) how can i achieve that ?

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

The inbuilt BCMath functions don't deal with BCMath objects as such, they just process on strings to achieve arbitrary precision computation. So you can convert back to a native php int with a normal cast.

$val = (int) bcmod( bcpow( "9392", "394" ), "100" );

From http://php.net/manual/en/book.bc.php, method signatures are

string bcmod ( string $left_operand , string $modulus )
string bcpow ( string $left_operand , string $right_operand [, int $scale ] )
