[*EDIT* by danbrown AT php DOT net: Merged user's corrected code with previous post content.]


jeremys indicated one thing - there is no sgn function wich actually seems a bit strange for me. Of course it is as simple as possible, but it is usefull and it is a standard math function needed occasionally.

Well, I have solved this function in a bit different matter:

<?php

function sgn($liczba)
{
    if(
$liczba>0)
       
$liczba=1;
    else if(
$liczba<0)
       
$liczba=-1;
    else if(!
is_numeric($liczba))
       
$liczba=null;
    else
       
$liczba=0;
    return
$liczba;
}

?>

The difference is that it returns null when the argument isn't a number at all.

If you don't have/want GMP and are working with large numbers/currencies:

<?php
function mb_abs($number)
{
  return
str_replace('-','',$number);
}
?>

No need to worry about encoding, as your numbers should all be basic (ANSI) strings.
