I made this to compare an unlimited size of numbers..
This could be useful for those without the BCMath extension.
It allows decimals, and option $Scale parameter. If $Scale isn't specified, then it'll automatically adjust to the correct number of decimals to compare.
<?php
function Comp($Num1,$Num2,$Scale=null) {
// check if they're valid positive numbers, extract the whole numbers and decimals
if(!preg_match("/^\+?(\d+)(\.\d+)?$/",$Num1,$Tmp1)||
!preg_match("/^\+?(\d+)(\.\d+)?$/",$Num2,$Tmp2)) return('0');
// remove leading zeroes from whole numbers
$Num1=ltrim($Tmp1[1],'0');
$Num2=ltrim($Tmp2[1],'0');
// first, we can just check the lengths of the numbers, this can help save processing time
// if $Num1 is longer than $Num2, return 1.. vice versa with the next step.
if(strlen($Num1)>strlen($Num2)) return(1);
else {
if(strlen($Num1)<strlen($Num2)) return(-1);
// if the two numbers are of equal length, we check digit-by-digit
else {
// remove ending zeroes from decimals and remove point
$Dec1=isset($Tmp1[2])?rtrim(substr($Tmp1[2],1),'0'):'';
$Dec2=isset($Tmp2[2])?rtrim(substr($Tmp2[2],1),'0'):'';
// if the user defined $Scale, then make sure we use that only
if($Scale!=null) {
$Dec1=substr($Dec1,0,$Scale);
$Dec2=substr($Dec2,0,$Scale);
}
// calculate the longest length of decimals
$DLen=max(strlen($Dec1),strlen($Dec2));
// append the padded decimals onto the end of the whole numbers
$Num1.=str_pad($Dec1,$DLen,'0');
$Num2.=str_pad($Dec2,$DLen,'0');
// check digit-by-digit, if they have a difference, return 1 or -1 (greater/lower than)
for($i=0;$i<strlen($Num1);$i++) {
if((int)$Num1{$i}>(int)$Num2{$i}) return(1);
else
if((int)$Num1{$i}<(int)$Num2{$i}) return(-1);
}
// if the two numbers have no difference (they're the same).. return 0
return(0);
}
}
}
$A="10.50002";
$B="10.50001";
printf(" Comp(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B, Comp($A,$B));
printf("BCComp(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B,BCComp($A,$B));
/*
Comp(10.50002,10.50001); // 1
BCComp(10.50002,10.50001); // 0 (BCComp has a default decimal scale of 0, unless specified)
*/
?>
I tried to make this behave like BCComp..
The only difference being mine will compare the decimals by default.. BCComp won't..
.. unless, of course, you specify the amount of decimals to include in the process.
Enjoy,

bccomp
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
bccomp — Compare deux nombres de grande taille
Description
int bccomp
( string $left_operand
, string $right_operand
[, int $scale
] )
Compare l'opérande left_operand avec l'opérande right_operand et retourne le résultat sous forme d'un entier.
Liste de paramètres
- left_operand
-
L'opérande de gauche, sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères.
- right_operand
-
L'opérande de droite, sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères.
- scale
-
Le paramètre optionnel scale est utilisé pour définir le nombre de digits après la décimale qui sera utilisé dans la comparaison.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne 0 si les deux opérandes sont égaux, 1 si l'opérande left_operand est plus grand que l'opérande right_operand , -1 sinon.
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec bccomp()
<?php
echo bccomp('1', '2') . "\n"; // -1
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 3); // 0
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 5); // 1

Improvement of functions bcmax() and bcmin() originaly written by frank at booksku dot com
<?php
function bcmax() {
$args = func_get_args();
if (count($args)==0) return false;
$max = $args[0];
foreach($args as $value) {

$max = $value;
}
}
return $max;

I slapped together min() and max() functions using bccomp(). While min() and max() only take an arbitrary number of args (i.e. max(1, 5, 1235, 12934, 66)) bccomp only takes 2.
Note that this doesn't take into account $scale.
<?php
function bcmax() {
$max = null;
foreach(func_get_args() as $value) {
if ($max == null) {
$max = $value;
} else if (bccomp($max, $value) < 0) {
$max = $value;
}
}
return $max;
}
function bcmin() {
$min = null;
foreach(func_get_args() as $value) {
if ($min == null) {
$min = $value;
} else if (bccomp($min, $value) > 0) {
$min = $value;
}
}
return $min;
}

Note that the above function defeats the purpose of BCMath functions, for it uses the 'conventional' < operator.
Instead, it should be:
<?php
function my_bccomp_zero($amount, $scale)
{
if (@$amount{0}=="-")
{
return bccomp($amount, '-0.0', $scale);
}
else
{
return bccomp($amount, '0.0', $scale);
}
}
?>
