Description
This pull request is a revisitation for the issue #255 where
base_convert
could not handle large arbitrary numbers. The quick fix solution was to make the PHP extension GMP required rather than optional as the suggested library in the issue had an incompatible license.Having a hard dependency on an extension that may not be present in all environments was not really diserable long-term but fortunately the markrogoyski/math-php project has provided a working solution that is license compatible and allows for returning of the
GMP
extension to an optional state than being required.
