Another way to get the population count when you don't have the gmp extension is using bitwise operations:
<?php
$int = 133; // 10000101
for($count = 0; $int != 0; $count++) // repeat until $int is 0 (and count the amount of steps it takes in $count)
{
$int = $int & $int-1; // remove the right most 1 from $int using the bitwise and operator
}
echo $count; // 3
?>
This is Kernighan's population count.
https://youtu.be/ZRNO-ewsNcQ?t=510 has a nice explanation on how it works
gmp_popcount
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
gmp_popcount — Population count
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
The population count of num, as an int.
Exemple
Example #1 gmp_popcount() example
<?php
$pop1 = gmp_init("10000101", 2); // 3 1's
echo gmp_popcount($pop1) . "\n";
$pop2 = gmp_init("11111110", 2); // 7 1's
echo gmp_popcount($pop2) . "\n";
?>

If you don't have gmp extension enabled (or don't want to use it for any reason), you can get popcount of an int using decbin() and substr_count().
<?php
$int1 = 133;
$bin1 = decbin($int1); // "10000101"
echo substr_count($bin1, "1");
// Result: 3
?>
Being a string-comparison this is far less efficient than gmp_popcount() (for which there is a dedicated instruction on most if not all modern processors), but may be handy if gmp is unavailable, or in non-performance-critical code that doesn't otherwise need it.
