You are probably hitting a floating point limitation combined with a precision setting problem in your environment. Try adding ini_set('precision',16); to the top of your script and you will see. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-13 00:35:04] brunog at micro-examples dot com Description: ------------ PHP Version => 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 can you please consider this short code ?
