Are there specific PHP libraries or built-in functions that support matrix calculations, or is it necessary to create custom routines?

There are specific PHP libraries such as MathPHP that provide functions for matrix calculations. These libraries offer a wide range of matrix operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. Using these libraries can save time and effort compared to creating custom routines from scratch. 

// Install MathPHP using Composer: composer require markrogoyski/math-php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MathPHP\LinearAlgebra\Matrix;

// Create a matrix
$matrix = Matrix::create([[1, 2], [3, 4]]);

// Perform matrix operations
$matrixSum = $matrix->add($matrix);
$matrixProduct = $matrix->multiply($matrix);

// Display results
echo "Matrix Sum: \n";
print_r($matrixSum->getMatrix());
echo "\n";

echo "Matrix Product: \n";
print_r($matrixProduct->getMatrix());
