Re: Bug?

Hello, I remember there was a warning in the PHP Manual about this. This is it: ** Never cast an unknown fraction to integer, as this can sometimes lead to unexpected results. ** echo (int) ( (0.1+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 7! So do your calculations first, and then echo the results. This way you get good habits in programming. And your code will be easier to read as well!
