#49187 [Bgs]: Misbehaving function : intval ()

ID: 49187 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: belanger dot b at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Math Functions Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: 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.
