ROFLMAO..please, don't go any further with this nonsense, you'll just make bigger fool of yourself. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-31 13:52:46] jeff at tmtrading dot com This is stupid. PHP is a loosely typed language, it's not frick'n C! If I don't have to declarde my variables, I should be able to count on the language to fix things for my automagically. Python and Perl are esentailly in the same language category as PHP. Loosely typed languages should handle these situations automatically. Where can I find information on why the decision was made to do things so stupidly? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-31 13:35:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] RTFM: http://fi2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-31 13:32:22] jeff at tmtrading dot com Description: ------------ When I try to test equality using these numbers php incorrectly returns false.
