Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-04 01:38:03] sniper@php.net If you pass the numbers as strings (as expected, although the manual has it wrong in the example), this works fine: bcmul("1", "0.00001", 5); Reclassified as documentation issue. (the bad examples in bcmath section) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-02 18:03:12] a dot schilder at gmx dot de Description: ------------ The result returned by bcmul() with the factor X (greater than 0) and 0.00001 is 0 - it's not the expected result. Reproduce code: --------------- // Does not work - result is 0: bcmul(1, 0.00001, 5); // This workaround does it - result 0.00001: bcdiv(bcmul(1, 0.00010, 5), 10, 5); Expected result: ---------------- The correct result 0.00001 Actual result: -------------- 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33549&edit=1
