I guess this all depends on what your fatal error is.
gmp_clrbit simply sets a bit to 0.
PHP Code:
$num = gmp_init("0x485");
gmp_clrbit($num, 3);
print gmp_strval($num); // 0x481
cmp function would be similar, except you would give it two gmp_init variables to compare against. It will always return 0, < 0, or > 0 depending on if the "left" (first) is larger or smaller than the "right" (second).
If I had to guess though, your error is probably undefined function for gmp_init (which means you now have to install the gmp extension:
