Beware that negative zero does not compare equal to positive zero.(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
bccomp — 比较两个任意精度的数字
num1左操作数,字符串类型。
num2右操作数,字符串类型。
scalenull,则默认为使用 bcscale() 设置的默认精度,
       或者回退到 bcmath.scale INI 指令的值。
      
     
   如果所有的操作数相等返回 0;如果 num1 大于
   num2 时返回 1,否则返回 -1。
  
| 版本 | 说明 | 
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 | 现在 scale可以为 null。 | 
示例 #1 bccomp() 示例
<?php
echo bccomp('1', '2') . "\n";   // -1
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 3); // 0
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 5); // 1
?>BEWARE! left and right operand is string!! so number in E-notation like 9.012E-6  need to be converted with sprintf('%F') to stringImprovement 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 $value) {
    if (bccomp($value, $max)==1) {
      $max = $value;
    }
  }
  return $max;
}
function bcmin() {
  $args = func_get_args();
  if (count($args)==0) return false;
  $min = $args[0];
  foreach($args as $value) {
    if (bccomp($min, $value)==1) {
      $min = $value;
    }
  }
  return $min;
}
?>If you want to compare 2 decimals for equality, bccomp does not works as expected:
bccomp("1.000000000000000","0.999999999999999",2)
returns 1
Instead, use
bcsub("1.000000000000000","0.999999999999999",2) == 0
