-How to install PHP with the BCMath arbitrary precision math library?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
+As of PHP 4.0.4, the BC math library routines are bundled in the
+standard PHP distribution. There is no need to install any additional
+files.
-Due to license restrictions, the BC math library can no longer be distributed
-along with PHP. The BC math library is distributed under the restrictive
-GNU Public License, and PHP is no longer distributed under that license, but
-under a less restrictive license, the PHP License.
-
-If you want to enable BC math support (recommended), all you have to do is
-simply download http://www.php.net/extra/number4.tar.gz, and untar it on the
-top level php4 directory.
-
-A typical way of doing this would be (assuming that you have lynx):
-cd ~/php4
-lynx -dump -source http://www.php.net/extra/number4.tar.gz | gzip -d | tar xvf -
-
-The PHP Group
+Thanks goes to Phil Nelson, for releasing the BC math library routines
+under the LGPL.
