ID: 10411 Comment by: yossi_shelli at cso dot co dot il Reported By: mark at artshouse dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Solaris 8, Slackware 7.0 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: I have the same problem here. Running on windows 2000 , php version 4.3.7, Apache/2.0.49. Tryed everything and every vriable with a number smaller then 1000 return a normal result. but a vriable with a number greater then 1000 return 1.00 as a result. If i put a constant number instaed of vriable in the first parameter of number_format (e.g. number_format (1099,2)) then the result will be ok. My shop is also running on linux, tryed it on it, and the same results :( if anyone of u got answer to this problem, or a way to byepass it please respond to this.

The bug still exists, and I think it specifically has to do with values set as float,2 from MySQL. It doesn't happen every time, but I have seen this on at least 5 occasions now (in 5 different sets of code). I can recreate it within my code, but you don't want me to paste my code (its all intermingled in a 600 lines of script) check it out specifically using values pulled from MySQL with a type of float,2. Here's the kicker, if I do something like $total=number_format($totals,2); print $total; the bug exists...if I do print number_format($totals,2) it works normally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-19 17:53:57] joey@php.net Try changing: $total = number_format($calcs_a + calcs_b,2); to $total = number_format($calcs_a + $calcs_b,2); (Note the missing $) Works just fine here with that small adjustment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-19 17:35:01] mark at artshouse dot com number_format returns wrong values in certain situations, here is a code example... $value = 504; $calcs_a = number_format($value,2); $othervalue = 504; $calcs_b = number_format($othervalue,2); $total = number_format($calcs_a + calcs_b,2); this returns: $calcs_a is 504.00 $calcs_b is 504.00 $total is 1.00 (should be 1008.00) I have seen this on several occasions now on multiple machines/setups/Oses ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10411&edit=1
