The Return Values section of the manual page explains why: "The return value of ceil() is still of type float as the value range of float is usually bigger than that of integer." Closing.

It says that 'ceil' function "Returns the next highest integer value by rounding up value if necessary", but the definition says that its returns a float number. "float" ceil ( float $value ) Returns the next highest "integer" value by rounding up value if necessary. I notice this right now and I want to help you. I hope it helps. Good job :) Test script: --------------- It just a text bug; test code is not relevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54483&edit=1
