Answer 1

PHP does not recognize "bcadd()" gives the error. "bcadd()" function is included in "bcmath" PHP extention.

Just installing the relevant bcmath extension would solved the issue.

sudo apt-get install php7.0-bcmath

Please note, you should find the correct version of bcmath extension according to your PHP version. And restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 2

For PHP 7.4- bcmath, install with apt or yum as below:

sudo apt install php7.4-bcmath

or

sudo yum install php7.4-bcmath

It is important to restart the apache2 service so it recognizes it. Like in the @Isanka Wijerathne answer – Pinnace

Package 'php7.4-bcmath' has no installation candidate – Tipcat
