The atan2() function returns the arc tangent of two variables x and y.
float atan2 ( float $y , float $x )
This function calculates the arc tangent of the two variables x and y. It is similar to calculating the arc tangent of y / x, except that the signs of both arguments are used to determine the quadrant of the result.The function returns the result in radians, which is between -PI and PI (inclusive).
