A big_int library provides a set of functions for calculations with arbitrary length integers and bitsets. Functions from this package are useful for number theory applications. For example, in two-keys cryptography. The package has many bitset functions, which allow to work with arbitrary length bitsets. This package is much faster than bundled into PHP BCMath and consists almost all functions, which are implemented in PHP GMP extension, but it needn't any external libraries.
