PHP IRR (Internal rate of return) financial function

This is modified from Tomas's answer. It stops the infinite loop by a check at the start to make sure cashflow is greater than investment. I have also increased the precision and run it a maximum of 20 times.

private function IRR($investment, $flow, $precision = 0.000001) {

    if (array_sum($flow) < $investment):
        return 0;
    endif;
    $maxIterations = 20;
    $i =0;
    if (is_array($flow)):
        $min = 0;
        $max = 1;
        $net_present_value = 1;
        while ((abs($net_present_value - $investment) > $precision)&& ($i < $maxIterations)) {
            $net_present_value = 0;
            $guess = ($min + $max) / 2;
            foreach ($flow as $period => $cashflow) {
                $net_present_value += $cashflow / (1 + $guess) ** ($period + 1);
            }
            if ($net_present_value - $investment > 0) {
                $min = $guess;
            } else {
                $max = $guess;
            }
            $i++;
        }
        return $guess * 100;
    else:
        return 0;
    endif;
}
