The parameter order here is probably fairly obvious to most people (subtract right from left), but to clarify with a simple use case since I was struggling with this at the end of a long day:

<?php
echo bcsub('7', '5'); // 7 - 5 = '2'
echo bcsub('12', '17'); // 12 - 17 = '-5'
?>

Provide the parameters in the same order you would when using a normal subtraction operator.

Please note that bcsub will fail in non-obvious ways if it's fed something that cannot be converted to a number. For instance:

bcsub('yes', 'no') === '0'

Yes, if you put garbage in, you get garbage out. Just don't expect bcsub to throw an error when you feed it an entirely non-numeric value.
