How to generate a Cumulative Normal Distribution in PHP [closed]

Can anyone tell me how to get the equivalent of the Excel (NORMDIST (TRUE)) 开发者_运维知识库function in PHP?

I have tried the PECL stats package (stats_dens_normal) but this appears to produce the probability mass function (equivalent to using NORMDIST in Excel with cumulative set to FALSE).

So in summary, I want to use PHP to get the equivalent of Excel's NORMDIST(x, mean, standard_dev TRUE).

Any help gratefully appreciated!

There's a php method for approximate cumulative normal distribution here:

The method takes a zscore as input. The results for me have have been similar to excel's NORMDIST.

function cumnormdist($x)
{
  $b1 =  0.319381530;
  $b2 = -0.356563782;
  $b3 =  1.781477937;
  $b4 = -1.821255978;
  $b5 =  1.330274429;
  $p  =  0.2316419;
  $c  =  0.39894228;

  if($x >= 0.0) {
      $t = 1.0 / ( 1.0 + $p * $x );
      return (1.0 - $c * exp( -$x * $x / 2.0 ) * $t *
      ( $t *( $t * ( $t * ( $t * $b5 + $b4 ) + $b3 ) + $b2 ) + $b1 ));
  }
  else {
      $t = 1.0 / ( 1.0 - $p * $x );
      return ( $c * exp( -$x * $x / 2.0 ) * $t *
      ( $t *( $t * ( $t * ( $t * $b5 + $b4 ) + $b3 ) + $b2 ) + $b1 ));
    }
}
