bccomp() function belongs to BCMath package; if it's undefined, apparently, there's something wrong with the package itself. To be more specific, it's not enabled (as since PHP 4.0.4, libbcmath is bundled with PHP).
Quoting the docs:
These functions are only available if PHP was configured with
--enable-bcmath.The Windows version of PHP has built-in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional extensions in order to use these functions.

3And of course, if you are on a new computer with Ubuntu. ensure you _install_ the package, e.g. `sudo apt install php-bcmath` – Robert Dundon Aug 21 '20 at 12:42

5best is to install the bcmath extension with the php version number. `sudo apt install php7.x-bcmath`. and restart the service. `service apache2 restart` – VishalParkash Sep 25 '20 at 05:33
