Numeric value are coming in as halfs

I'm using PHP to read data from a file and dump it into an array, then I'mfeeding that array into mySQL transfer happens fine except that some the numeric values are halfed currenly I'm simply tweaking the output by going: (int) $player_data[16] = $player_data[16] * 2 / 10; the /10 is needed because it also adds a zero to the end (f*cking guy) this is the script: for ($i = 1; $i < 34; $i++){ $order = fgets($fp, 100); $order_exploded = explode("=", $order); fwrite($this_fp, $order_exploded[1]); echo($order_exploded[1] . "<br>"); trim($order_exploded[1]); $player_data[$i] = $order_exploded[1]; the fwrite() part is just a remainder of old testing (acts as write confirm) the data comes in 'field=value' format hence explode and sh*t THanks in advance.
