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. .

Reproduce code: --------------- print round (1125.005, 2); print round(11125.005, 2); Expected result: ---------------- round(11125.005, 2) should return 11125.01 Actual result: -------------- round(11125.005, 2) returns 11125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46297&edit=1
