预定义常量

下列常量作为 PHP 核心的一部分总是可用的。

**数学常量**
常量名	常量值	描述
M_PI	3.14159265358979323846	Pi
M_E	2.7182818284590452354	e
M_LOG2E	1.4426950408889634074	log_2 e
M_LOG10E	0.43429448190325182765	log_10 e
M_LN2	0.69314718055994530942	log_e 2
M_LN10	2.30258509299404568402	log_e 10
M_PI_2	1.57079632679489661923	pi/2
M_PI_4	0.78539816339744830962	pi/4
M_1_PI	0.31830988618379067154	1/pi
M_2_PI	0.63661977236758134308	2/pi
M_SQRTPI	1.77245385090551602729	sqrt(pi) [5.2.0]
M_2_SQRTPI	1.12837916709551257390	2/sqrt(pi)
M_SQRT2	1.41421356237309504880	sqrt(2)
M_SQRT3	1.73205080756887729352	sqrt(3) [5.2.0]
M_SQRT1_2	0.70710678118654752440	1/sqrt(2)
M_LNPI	1.14472988584940017414	log_e(pi) [5.2.0]
M_EULER	0.57721566490153286061	Euler constant [5.2.0]

只有常量 M_PI 在 PHP 4.0.0 之前就存在，其它所有常量从 PHP 4.0.0 起开始存在。用 [5.2.0] 标记的常量是在 PHP 5.2.0 中增加的。

I just learnt of INF today and found out that it can be used in comparisons:

    echo 5000 < INF ? 'yes' : 'no';       // outputs 'yes'
    echo INF < INF ? 'yes' : 'no';        // outputs 'no'
    echo INF <= INF ? 'yes' : 'no';       // outputs 'yes'
    echo INF == INF ? 'yes' : 'no';       // outputs 'yes'

You can also take its negative:

    echo -INF < -5000 ? 'yes' : 'no';    // outputs 'yes'

Division by INF is allowed:

    echo 1/INF;    // outputs '0'

There are also the predefined PHP_INT_MAX and PHP_INT_SIZE constants, that describe the range of possible integer values.

Although INF can be used for comparison against normal numbers and as a directed number, and behaves as reciprocal of zero, it is not like limit INF tends to infinity. These operations do not work:

<?php
var_dump(INF / INF); // float(NAN)
var_dump(INF - INF); // float(NAN)
?>

However, it works with arc-tangent:
<?php
var_dump(atan(INF) / M_PI); // float(0.5)
var_dump(atan2(INF, INF) / M_PI); // float(0.25)
var_dump(atan2(1, INF) / M_PI); // float(0)
?>

From PHP 7.2.0, the PHP_FLOAT_* constants are provided to describe the properties of floating point numbers that can be stored; PHP_FLOAT_MAX, for example, is analogous to PHP_INT_MAX and represents the largest possible floating-point number.

The constants 

PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN
PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN
PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD

are constants intended to be used as the 3rd parameter in the math function round()

Another observation on INF.

Division by zero results in INF:

<?php
var_dump(1/0); // float(INF)
?>

BUT a 'Division by zero' warning is issued.

Caution when using variables with the value NAN (or directly NAN, which would not be logical) if the value is converted in any form (integer, string or other non-float format)!
In that case, NAN is converted to 0. (e.g. as an index in an array, argument of a method that takes it as a non-float parameter, etc.). This bug has been reported several times, but is still present in the current version PHP 7.3.15.

Example 1:
$array = [0 =>  'zero', 1 => 'one', 2 => 'two'];
$index = NAN;
echo $array[$index]; // echo 'zero' and not as axcepted throws an exception or at least a warning 'undefined offset NAN ...'

Example 2:
function f((int) $p) { return $p; }
echo f(NAN); // echo 0 because the argument (NAN) has been converted to integer (0)

It would have to be checked in both cases explicitly for is_nan():
1: if(is_nan($index)){
      <throw Exception>
   }else{
      echo $array[$index];
   };

2: function f($p){ // without converting!!!
      if(is_nan($p)){
         <throw Exception>
      }else{
         return (int)$p; // actually a correct conversion  to Integer would have to be checked because the parser does not check this here.
      };
   }
