Mathematical Functions in PHP

Introduction

 
As you know PHP is a sever side script language which is used for creating dynamic web pages. In PHP you can use mathematical functions. There are various mathematical functions in PHP. There are PHP math functions to take care of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication and many other mathematical requirements. PHP has nice support for mathematical processing. Some examples of mathematical functions in PHP are as follows:
 

abs () function

 
The abs() function returns the absolute value of a number. The example of the abs() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>abs function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=-10;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using abs function your number is : ".abs ($num);  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
abs function in php 
 

dechex () function

 
The dechex() function is used to convert the decimal number to a hexadecimal number. The example of hecdex() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>dechex function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=525;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using dechex function your number is : ".dechex ($num);  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>}  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
dechex function in php 
 

sqrt() function

 
The sqrt() function is used to get the square root of a number. The example of the sqrt() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>sqrt  function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=625;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using sqrt function your number is : ".sqrt ($num);  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
sqrt function in php 
 

log() function

 
The log() function is used to get the log value of a number. The example of the log() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>log  function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=10;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using log function your number is : ".log ($num);  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
log function in php 
 

floor() function

 
In the floor() function we use a float or real number. The floor() function returns the nearest value of an integer. The example of the floor() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>floor  function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=5.89;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using floor function your number is : ".floor ($num).'<br>';  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
floor function in php 
 

ceil() function

 
In the ceil() function we use a float or real number. The ceil() function returns the nearest value of an integer. The example of the ceil() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>ceil  function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=5.89;  
  6. echo "Your number is : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "Using ceil function your number is : ".ceil ($num).'<br>';  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
 
ceil function in php 
 

pow() function

 
The pow() is used to calculate the power of any number. The example of the pow() is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">

  8. echo "Minimum number is : ".min ($num);  
  9. ?>  
  10. </body>  
  11. </html>  
Output
 
max and min function in php 
 

Geometric Functions

 

sin() function

 
The sin() function is used to calculate the sine value of a given number. The example of the sin() function is as follows:
  1. <html>  
  2. <body bgcolor="pink">  
  3. <h3>sin()  function</h3>  
  4. <?php  
  5. $num=0;  
  6. Echo "The value of angle : $num".'<br>';  
  7. echo "The value of sin0 is : ".sin($num);  
  8. ?>  
  9. </body>  
  10. </html>  
Output
