Doing Trigonometry in Degrees, Not Radians in PHP

InfinityCoder November 16, 2016

You have numbers in degrees but want to use the trigonometric functions.

Use deg2rad() and rad2deg() on your input and output:

1
2
3
$degree = 90;
// cosine of 90 degrees is 0
$cosine = cos(deg2rad($degree));

By definition, 360 degrees is equal to 2π radians, so it’s easy to manually convert between the two formats.

However, these functions use PHP’s internal value of π, so you’re assured a high-precision answer.

To access this number for other calculations, use the constant M_PI, which is 3.14159265358979323846.

There is no built-in support for gradians. This is considered a feature, not a bug.
