note 81903 added to function.round

Beware: round() has changed its behavior from PHP 4. For certain special numbers that seem to be multiples of 100,000, the return value is in exponential format, rather than decimal. This is fine as long as the number is only used internally to PHP. However, if you interpolate that value into xml, as in this example, then you will likely end up with an xsd validation error and a failed transaction: '<AnnualIncome>' . round($income) . '</AnnualIncome>' Some of these special values are 1200000, 1400000, 2300000, which are returned as 1.2E+6, etc. You can generate your own list using this code: <?php for( $tmp = 0, $i = 0; $i < 100; $i++ ) { $tmp += 100000; echo round($tmp),"\n"; } ?> I reported this as a bug, but it was rejected. Regardless of what it is, it will bite you if you're not careful. http://bugs.php.net/?id=44223&edit=2 ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 12.7.177.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81903 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81903 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81903 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
