PrimeModule-ext

PHP extension for factorizing huge (up to 2^63-1) numbers (optimized for huge semiprimes).

To compile it, simply install https://github.com/CopernicaMarketingSoftware/PHP-CPP and run make && sudo make install in this directory.

sudo apt-get install build-essential php$(echo "<?php echo PHP_MAJOR_VERSION.'.'.PHP_MINOR_VERSION;" | php)-dev && git clone https://github.com/danog/PHP-CPP && cd PHP-CPP && make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install && cd .. && git clone https://github.com/danog/PrimeModule-ext && cd PrimeModule-ext && make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install

API:

integer factorize( mixed $pq )

Parameters:

pq - The number to factorize, a string or an integer.

Return value: an integer, containing one of the factors of the number.

Example:

<?php
var_dump(factorize(1724114033281923457));
var_dump(factorize("2189285106422392999"));
var_dump(factorize(15));

This will output:

int(1402015859)
int(1117663223)
int(5)

As you can see, the factorize function accepts integers and strings as parameter, so that if you're poor and you have only a 32 bit system, you will still be able to provide 64 bit integers as a string.

The function can throw an \Exception if factorization fails.
