强制显示常规十进制数

Question

I'm running a benchmark test of doing nothing so the results is pretty fast.

Here is my code:

$time_start = microtime(true);
//Do Nothing...
$time = microtime(true) - $time_start;

echo 'Took '.$time.' seconds<br>';

The problem is when I try to echo the results I'm getting this:

Took 1.3828277587891E-5 seconds

I'm expecting to get a regular decimal number like:

Took 0.000000008231 seconds

Is it possible to force php to display it as regular decimal number ?

If you want your big numbers, then try this:

  //$i = gmp_init( $time ); // i think you need that only if you want convert a string to an int/flaot
  echo gmp_strval( $time );

gmp_strval PHP > 4.0.4 / PHP 5.
