The BC Math and Decimal extensions implement [arbitrary-precision](/formats/exact/) decimal math:

$a = '0.1';
$b = '0.2';
echo bcadd($a, $b); // prints 0.3
$a = new \BcMath\Number('0.1');
$b = new \BcMath\Number('0.2');
echo $a + $b; // prints 0.3

$a = new Decimal('0.1');
$b = new Decimal('0.2');
echo $a + $b; // prints 0.3
$a = new \Decimal\Decimal('0.1');
$b = new \Decimal\Decimal('0.2');
echo $a + $b; // prints 0.3
