A gotcha when using the value from gmp_strval as a key in an associative array. Some numbers are 2^31 are converted to signed integer format, this is usually incorrect.
<?php
$a = gmp_init('2147483649'); // = 2^31 + 1
$b = gmp_init('3173604585'); // = 2^31 < $b < 2^32
$c = gmp_strval($a);
$d = gmp_strval($b);
$e = array($c => 'c', $d => 'd');
print '*** Expect '."\n";
print 'Array '."\n".'('."\n".' ['.$c.'] => c'."\n".' ['.$d.'] => d'."\n".')'."\n\n";
print '*** Actual '."\n";
print_r($e);
?>
Output:
*** Expect
Array
(
[2147483649] => c
[3173604585] => d
)
*** Actual
Array
(
[-2147483647] => c
[3173604585] => d
)
A workaround is to format as base 16 and append '0x' before using as a key.

gmp_strval — Convierte un número GMP a cadena
Descripción
string gmp_strval
( resource
$gmpnumber
[, int $base = 10
] )
Convierte un número GMP a la representación de cadena en base
base. La base por defecto es 10.
Parámetros
-
gmpnumber -
El número GMP a convertir en cadena.
Puede ser tanto un número de resource GMP, o una cadena numérica dada que pueda ser convertida al final en un número.
-
base -
La base del número retornado. La base por defecto es 10. Los valores permitidos para la base son de 2 a 62 y -2 a -36.
Valores devueltos
El número, como una string.
Historial de cambios
| Versión | Descripción |
|---|---|
| 5.3.2 |
La base fue extendida de 2 a 36, a
2 a 62 y -2 a -36.
|
Notas
Nota:
To use the extended base introduced in PHP 5.3.2, then PHP must be compiled against GMP 4.2.0 or greater.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Converting a GMP number to a string
<?php
$a = gmp_init("0x41682179fbf5");
printf("Decimal: %s, base 36: %s", gmp_strval($a), gmp_strval($a,36));
?>

I think it's no longer necessary to worry about trailing nulls. This was fixed in Feb 2002 (see bug 10133)

Warning: gmp_strval may return a null terminated string (e.g., gmp_strval(gmp_init(8)) has two characters. This is because gmp is built for speed, so uses estimates based on things it can get quickly, like the number of bits in N. So since 8 is a 4 bit number, it will be allocated ceil(log10(2^4))=ceil(4*0.30103....) = 2 characters. The gmp folks feel it is the caller's responsibility (in this case the PHP interface) to check whether or not all the characters were required. PHP might have done this for us (and may in the future), but for now, you need to check (if it matters to you--it sure did in my program!).
