Description
int
gmp_prob_prime ( resource a [, int reps])
If this function returns 0, a is definitely not prime. If it returns 1, then a is "probably" prime. If it returns 2, then a is surely prime. Reasonable values of reps vary from 5 to 10 (default being 10); a higher value lowers the probability for a non-prime to pass as a "probable" prime.
The function uses Miller-Rabin's probabilistic test.
Example 1. gmp_prob_prime() example <?php
// definitely not a prime
echo gmp_prob_prime("6") . "\n";
// probably a prime
echo gmp_prob_prime("1111111111111111111") . "\n";
// definitely a prime
echo gmp_prob_prime("11") . "\n";
