Hi there, I've come accross a situation, where I am subracting amounts
from each other - it SHOULD come to whole cents, but im getting
strange results :-

CODE :-

echo "MIN MAX '$min'$max'<BR>\n";
if($max-$min<0.02){
echo ($max-$min)."<BR>\n";


(Basically i want to know if its less than 2 cents difference)

What I get on the screen is :-

MIN MAX '5864.51'5864.53'
0.0199999999995

Now - according tomy maths - 5864.51 subtract 5864.53 should be two cents..
not 1.999999995 cents..

Is there a single command at the top of my script to 'round' the
figures to the nearest two decimal places / cent? (or after each
calculation ?)
