http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.precision

precision sets the number of significant digits, *NOT* the number of
digits displayed after the decimal point.

If you want to get pi out to 16 decimal places you need a precision
of *17* because the beginning 3 is a significant digit.

Your code does exactly this, displaying pi with 15 decimal places.
