Thanks but your solution would still be to use BC Math. That is not my question. I don't want to get into a back and forth discussion defending my admin's or company's policies which I am merely subject to. My admin does not use the generic ./configure to --enable-bcmath http://php.net/manual/en/bc.installation.php It is done through the distro's package manager which has been damned to dependency hell.
