Display a long integer

[johnie]

Hi.
I have a long integer, on which i want to perform an operation and then display it as an integer and NOT as a float or anything else.
For example i want to multiply
9999999999999999 (16 digits) * 3
and get a normal number as a result and not 3E+016

Or do any other operation with that number.
How do i do that?

Thanks,
John

If you're going to be doing arithmetic with big numbers (in particular, integers that don't fit in a single int type), then you may want to look at the BC math functions. There may also be PHP classes available for arbitrary precision arithmetic.
