ID: 13241 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Math related Operating System: Linux 2.4.x PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Floats are inaccurate, by doing some math on them, you ended up with 7.6649999999999999999 or something, which is correctly rounded DOWN. Simply don't use floats if it needs to accurate. RTFM on floats, you'll more info there.

If I don't do the multiplication and simply send round 7.665 it works right!!?? Any ideas? -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13241&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
