by Sharon Levy
Numbers may seem too innocuous to lend themselves to any task that is outside the realm of logic, let alone succumb to wizardry. But, in the world of PHP numerics and magic may intersect, especially if one is aiming for numerical precision, at times a seemingly daunting task. And, then there are the unexpected things that you may have lacked the foresight to anticipate which undermine your best efforts. Let?s inspect The PHP Way of handling numbers by focusing on three areas that can be challenging even for experienced developers, namely hexadecimals, octals and really big numbers.
