    This code will find a high precision of pi. It is pretty fast, 1000 digits in less than 5 seconds(result from my server). If your computer is powerful enough, it will find infinite amount of decimal of pi.

    //To use the code, input bcpi($precision)
    //$precision is a interger

    function bcfact($n){
    return ($n == 0 || $n== 1) ? 1 : bcmul($n,bcfact($n-1));
    }

    $num = 0;$k = 0;
    bcscale($precision+3);
    $limit = ($precision+3)/14;
    while($k < $limit){
