Bug description: number_format() returns 'inf' for too large numbers
Description:
------------
This isnt directly something wrong, but it does need to be addressed:
When working with large numbers in BCmath, the need to output the number
comes about. When trying to use the function number_format(), it returns
'inf'. This function should be changed to also accept strings that are
composed or digits.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo number_format(bcpow('1000', '1000'));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
