I'm not agree with the lasts answers!
I know that it is hard to correctly represent a floating point number due to the binary calculation
problems but I've seen
some situation where the issue is managed in the right way.
For example, I usuallly develop web application using PostgreSQL as database and I see that if I do
the same operation using the PostgreSQL's internal round function I obtain the right rounding
using the same input... so what's the matter?
I think that the PHP's round function could be improved and fixed by PHP developers ad that
this should be done as soon as possible 'cause this issue could be very dangerous if the
application deal with monetary values.
