Still, I am sure this is a bug. No software I use (Excel, Shopping program) produces such results, like PHP echo '<br>'.round(0.155*1, 2); >> gives 0,16 echo '<br>'.round(8.155*1, 2); >> gives 8,15 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-08 14:32:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might not have the same string representation after any processing. That also includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly printing it without any mathematical operations. If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE 754 is read this: http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-08 14:24:56] lukasz at knasiecki dot com Description: ------------ Round function works with errors.
