gmp_hamdist
gmp_* functions don't accept strings with a leading '+':
<?php
echo gmp_strval(gmp_init('+42')); #0
echo gmp_strval(gmp_add('42', '+42')); #42
echo bcadd('+42', '+42'); #84
?>
gmp_init
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
gmp_init — Create GMP number
Description
Creates a GMP number from an integer or string.
Parameters
- number
-
An integer or a string. The string representation can be decimal, hexadecimal or octal.
- base
-
The base. Defaults to 0.
The base may vary from 2 to 36. If base is 0 (default value), the actual base is determined from the leading characters: if the first two characters are 0x or 0X, hexadecimal is assumed, otherwise if the first character is "0", octal is assumed, otherwise decimal is assumed.
Return Values
A GMP number resource.
ChangeLog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.1.0 | The optional base parameter was added. |
Examples
Example #1 Creating GMP number
<?php
$a = gmp_init(123456);
$b = gmp_init("0xFFFFDEBACDFEDF7200");
?>
Notes
Note: It is not necessary to call this function if you want to use integer or string in place of GMP number in GMP functions, like gmp_add(). Function arguments are automatically converted to GMP numbers, if such conversion is possible and needed, using the same rules as gmp_init().

Here's a way to parse a decimal (eg 3.25) into an integer and exponent:
<?
if (preg_match("/^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$/",$input)){
//Input is a base-10 decimal. Multiply as necessary to remove the decimal
//point. Convert that to a gmp_resource, then decrement the exponent
//to compensate.
$pieces=explode(".", $input); //Split at the d.p.
$input="$pieces[0]$pieces[1]"; //Remove the decimal point.
$input=ltrim($input,'0');
//Remove any leading zeros, or gmp_init will parse the number as octal.
if ($input==''){ //Deal with "0.0" which would otherwise be ''.
$input=0;
}
$integer=gmp_init($input);
$ns_exponent=-strlen($pieces[1]);
//exponent = (-) the number of characters after the decimal point.
}
?>

Note: Leading zeros will make gmp_init parse this as octal.
Thus gmp_init(010) becomes 8.
$a=010; //8
$b="010" + 0; //10
$c=gmp_strval(gmp_init(010)); //8
$d=gmp_strval(gmp_init("010")); //8
This behaviour is inconsistent: either $d should equal $b, or
$b should equal $a.

If you call a gmp_* function directly with an interger as parameter, this integer MUST NOT be 0:
for($i=-1;$i<=1;$i++) { echo gmp_strval(gmp_add(2,gmp_mul(1,$i))) . ' '; }
The result is 1 0 3 (wrong)
In this case you have to use gmp_init():
for($i=-1;$i<=1;$i++) { echo gmp_strval(gmp_add(2,gmp_mul(1,gmp_init($i)))) . ' '; }
The result is 1 2 3 (right)
Happy number crunching! :-)
