ID: 24142 Comment by: php at oostende dot nl Reported By: infohata at firmos dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.0.0-dev Assigned To: stas New Comment:
I have the same problem, wrote a testscript (in dutch, sorry, but I'm sure you'll get the idea...) that does basic VAT calculation. Look at http://www.tsrfietsplan.nl/rekentest.php A small comment on the statement that rounding it this way saves money on the long run: if I use this code for VAT calculation, I'll get lots of credit notes and unhappy customers. Not good for business! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-09 11:16:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS.
