#23780 [Opn->Bgs]: Number comparision fails

ID: 23780 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: walovaton at yahoo dot com dot mx -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Your sample works fine, have a look at the section in our manual about floats. Not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-23 09:54:28] walovaton at yahoo dot com dot mx When I'm trying to compare two numbers, some times I get not expected results. Specially with float precision numbers. In my case: $value1 = 58.6; $value2 = 58.6; if ($value1 > $value2) { // PHP Bug! // This expresion seems to be true for some reason // The expected result is false, isn't it?? } This happens comparing the numbers as floats or as strings. It is important to say that $value1 is a value entered by the user into a form input (a validation number) and $value2 is the addition of several fields and such addition must be equal to $value1 in order to be accepted by the application. I hope this is clear enough for you. -William ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23780&edit=1
