Using PHP 4.0.3pl1 under Windows NT, I found bugs in SIN, COS and TAN math. functions:

<?
echo "<html>";
$a = 26.736944444444;
$s = sin($a);
$c = cos($a);
$t = tan($a);
echo "SIN $a= "; echo $s; echo "<p>;
echo "COS $a= "; echo $c; echo "<p>;
echo "TAN $a= "; echo $t; echo "<p>;
echo "</html>";
?>

Results are:

SIN $a = 0.99944204177993
COS $a = -0.033400675483516
TAN $a = -29.922809263938

SIN and COS functions are not correct.  As TAN $a is using SIN $a /COS $a. TAN function is not correct too. Calulate manualy or using any calculator you will see that real values are:

SIN $a = 0.4498...
COS $a = 0.8930...
TAN a$ = 0.5037...

regards,
Vladimir

The trig functions work with radians - you are using degrees.
