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:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
I was working on a way to calculate the LIMIT and OFFSET for a blog in
reverse
but still with ORDER BY date_create DESC and I kept running into flaws
until i
did a print on the mysql_query string,.. in order to keep the urls
correct on
the page,..
$postoffset = (((14 / 10) - 1) * 10); // 4
var_dump($postoffset); // returns float(4)
var_dump(intval($postoffset)); // returns int(3)
14/10 = 1.4
1.4-1 = 0.4
0.4*10 = 4
(this is happening on many different php version, so i almost wanted to
put the
php version select on "Irrelavant")
Test script:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
$limit = (int) 10;
$count = (int) 14; // mysql_query("select count(*)...");
$pages = (int) ceil($count/$limit);
$page = (int) 1;
$offset = ((($count / $limit) - $page) * $limit);
var_dump($offset);
var_dump(intval($offset));
$offset = (((14 / 10) - 1) * 10); // 4
var_dump($offset);
var_dump(intval($offset));
var_dump(ceil(((14 / 10) - 1) * 10));
var_dump(floor(((14 / 10) - 1) * 10));
var_dump(round(((14 / 10) - 1) * 10));
print "- step by step -\n";
$pages = $count / $limit;
var_dump($pages); // 1.4
var_dump(intval($pages)); // 1
$_page = $pages - $page;
var_dump($_page); // 0.4
var_dump(intval($_page)); // 0
$offset = $_page * $limit;
var_dump($offset); // 4
var_dump(intval($offset)); // 3 incorrect
$offset = 0.4 * 10;
var_dump($offset); // 4
var_dump(intval($offset)); // 4 correct
?>
Expected result:
----------------
float(4)
int(4)
float(4)
int(4)
float(4)
float(4)
float(4)
- step by step -
float(1.4)
int(1)
float(0.4)
int(0)
float(4)
int(4)
float(4)
int(4)
Actual result:
--------------
float(4)
int(3)
float(4)
int(3)
float(4)
float(3)
float(4)
- step by step -
float(1.4)
int(1)
float(0.4)
int(0)
float(4)
int(3)
float(4)
int(4)
