PHP 4.0 Bug #10411 Updated: number_format returns wrong values

ID: 10411 User Update by: mark@artshouse.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Description: number_format returns wrong values That was just a typo on my part entering the information here. 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.
