#36008 [Opn]: incorrect round() & number_format() result
ID: 36008 User updated by: adi at rogers dot com Reported By: adi at rogers dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Math related Operating System: win32 only PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-06-14 New Comment: Aww well it's too late for me to bug it for Windows Vista as we've entered Release Candidate 2 :( I'll test this again on IIS7 with the final version of Vista... Previous Comments: [2006-10-30 13:30:58] dave at koales dot co dot uk I think this is a Windows vs others thing. I have the same rounding error using PHP 5.0.5 on Windows XP SP2. The same problem does not exist on my webhost, who use PHP 4.3.9 and Redhat Linux (need any more detail). The code I used was: echo "Correct VAT = " . round( 0.525, 2 ) . "\r\n"; echo "Wrong VAT = " . round( 3 * ( 17.5 / 100.0 ), 2 ) . "\r\n"; Outputs 0.53 for each on webhost (under Linux) and 0.52 for the second test under Windows (0.53 for the first test). I've also had very bizarre rounding errors with MySQL. The rounding error came and went depending on how the calculation was constructed!
