RE: [PHP] Need unrounded precision

bitwise right shift is probably the fastest cast to int so far ... still in many languages, intval is a function call being a cast in both cases (int) is good as well ... bitwise, casting, works with strings, arrays, boolean, whatever as well. I don't think there is any difference in php, except when the integer is "too big" ... but this was not the case, we had to deal with 1 to 10 :-) Regards > From: jbozza@mindsites.com > To: an_red@hotmail.com > CC: php-general@lists.php.net > Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:33:10 -0500 > Subject: RE: [PHP] Need unrounded precision > > >> Hmmm...
