Negative numbers N always have at least four factors: N*1=N and abs(N)*-1=N. Therefore, even if "natural number" weren't in the definition of a prime (which it is), no negative number would ever qualify. Therefore, the next-largest prime number to any negative number is always 2.
gmp_nextprime
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7)
gmp_nextprime — Find next prime number
Parametri
-
num -
Un număr GMP sub formă de resource în PHP 5.5 și anterior, un obiect GMP în PHP 5.6 și ultrior, su un șir de caractere numeric atunci când acesta poate fi convertit într-un număr.
Valorile întoarse
Return the next prime number greater than num,
as a GMP number.
Exemple
Example #1 gmp_nextprime() example
<?php
$prime1 = gmp_nextprime(10); // next prime number greater than 10
$prime2 = gmp_nextprime(-1000); // next prime number greater than -1000
echo gmp_strval($prime1) . "\n";
echo gmp_strval($prime2) . "\n";
?>
Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

Note
Notă:
This function uses a probabilistic algorithm to identify primes and chances to get a composite number are extremely small.

Prime numbers are positive, non-zero numbers that have exactly two factors. No more, no less. So testing negative numbers doesn't really make any sense.
