    I have a project which relies on a php form multiplying 2 large numbers but Im having a problem with the output:

    &#036;number2 = 9876543214327;
    &#036;numbertotal=&#036;number1*&#036;number2;

    &#036;shouldbe=1219326311779068734574924;

    print(&#036;numbertotal . "
    " . &#036;shouldbe);

    if (&#036;numbertotal==&#036;shouldbe) {
    &nbsp; &nbsp; print("
    YES");
    } else {
    &nbsp; &nbsp; print("
    NO");
    };

    ?>
    now the output i get is &#036;numbertotal=1.21932 E 24 and NO.

    anyone know how i get rid of the exponential description and get it expressed as a simple integer?

    Code:
    &#60;?php
    &#036;numone=123456789012;
    &#036;numtwo = 9876543214327;
    echo bcmul&#40;&#036;numtwo, &#036;numone&#41; . &#34;&#092;n&#34;;
