Re: Re: Why do these values not match?

Here is a way to work around this, use number_format(). $total= 332.06; $production = 45.11 + 134.38 + 85.35 + 67.22; print("Total = $total"); print("Production = $production"); if(number_format($total) != number_format($production)) { print("Totals do not Match!"); } else { print("Totals are in Balance"); } Tony S. Wu I tried it and the if statement is still treating the evaluation as if they are not equal. I also did this: $test = $total - $production; print "$test"; and got this as the result: -5.68434188608E-014 What is going on here?

That might let you know if is the if statement or something else. gl -- Seth Manuel wrote: > The "if" statement is not working here.
