Sure, this will work for exactly the same reason that floor(round(8.2 - 0.2) == 8.0) will work. What you are implying is that we should always be doing an implicit round() which is not a good idea. This should be something that is up to the developer. > So why doesn't php do this cast/round for me? That's my question. Because that would impose rounding errors and remove the develpor's flexibility for controlling this exactly. -Rasmus
