The gmp_strval() is an inbuilt function in PHP which returns the string value of a GMP number. (GNU Multiple Precision: For large numbers). Syntax:

string gmp_strval ( GMP num,intnum, int num,intbase )

Parameters: The function accepts two parameters numandnum and numandbase as shown above and described below.

1. $num - The function accepts one GMP number $num and returns its string value. This parameter can be a GMP object in PHP version 5.6 and later, or we are also allowed to pass a numeric string provided that it is possible to convert that string to a number.
2. $base - This parameter specifies the base of the returned number by the function. The base values for the $base are from 2 to 62 and -2 to -36. This is an optional parameter and the default value is 10.

Return Value: The function returns string value of the given GMP number $num. Examples:

Input : num="110"num = "110" num="110"base = 2 Output : 6

Input : $num = "110" Output : 110
