I don't get the point about solution?
for example for this simple code in the last line I get the same
Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered

const BR = "<br>";

$a = 1;
$b = 2.5;
$c = 0xFF;
echo $d = $b + $c . BR;
echo $e = $d * $b . BR;

and BTW - fine that you mention the codeline - what about mention the VARIABLE which the warning is
raising?

4077 KB - in other words we have now to typecast everything in doubt which PHP did for more than a
decade itself?

(floatval($dbsize)*1024) 
((float)$dbsize*1024))

are workarounds - but sicne when is PHP a strong typed language?

What is the value of $dbsize? Probably something like "128K", which is not a number. If
you want to suppress the warning, use an explicit (int) cast.

See https://wiki.php.net/rfc/invalid_strings_in_arithmetic
for more information.

ok, now i get puke

Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in /Volumes/dune/www-servers/rhsoft/status.php
on line 466

$dbsize_bytes = $dbsize*1024;

that's just a simple multiplication, no formatting, no magic
