You can use the floatval
function in PHP to transform a string containing a number expressed in scientific notation into a double. Here's an example:
$string = '2.5e-6';
$double = floatval($string);
In this example, the string $string
contains the number 2.5 x 10^-6 expressed in scientific notation. The floatval
function converts this string into a double and assigns it to the variable $double
. The resulting value of $double
is 0.0000025.
