Re: Modulus and floating point...

You can consider doing this: $number=102.52; $fraction=$number-floor($number); $number=($number % 50)+$fraction; Basically it's the exact solution you're suggesting, just that you don't have to do any string stuff. PHP's behaviour is normal - modulus is generally intended for integers...
