(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

bcscale — Set or get default scale parameter for all bc math functions

Description

Parameters

scale

The scale factor.

Return Values

Returns the old scale when used as setter. Otherwise the current scale is returned.

Errors/Exceptions

This function throws a ValueError if scale is outside the valid range.

Changelog

Version Description
8.0.0 scale is now nullable.
7.3.0 bcscale() can now be used to get the current scale factor; when used as setter, it now returns the old scale value. Formerly, scale was mandatory, andbcscale() always returned true.

Examples

Example #1 bcscale() example

`<?php// default scale : 3
bcscale(3);
echo bcdiv('105', '6.55957'); // 16.007

// this is the same without bcscale()

echo bcdiv('105', '6.55957', 3); // 16.007?>`

These functions DO NOT round off your values. No arbitrary precision libraries do it this way. It stops calculating after reaching scale of decimal places, which mean that your value is cut off after scale number of digits, not rounded. To do the rounding use something like this:
<?php
        function bcround($number, $scale=0) {
                $fix = "5";
                for ($i=0;$i<$scale;$i++) <span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>f</mi><mi>i</mi><mi>x</mi><mo>=</mo><mi mathvariant="normal">&quot;</mi><mn>0</mn></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">fix=&quot;0</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.8889em;vertical-align:-0.1944em;"></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.10764em;">f</span><span class="mord mathnormal">i</span><span class="mord mathnormal">x</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2778em;"></span><span class="mrel">=</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2778em;"></span></span><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.6944em;"></span><span class="mord">&quot;0</span></span></span></span>fix";

Executing bcsacle() will change the scale value of fpm.conf, not only the current process.

Simple, easy way to remove excess trailing zeros using rtrim:
<php>
  // $total is the result of a bcmath calculation
  if ( strpos($total, '.') !== false ):
