note 83478 added to function.floor

I believe this behavior of the floor function was intended. Note that it says "the next lowest integer". -1 is "higher" than -1.6. As in, -1 is logically greater than -1.6. To go lower the floor function would go to -2 which is logically less than -1.6. Floor isn't trying to give you the number closest to zero, it's giving you the lowest bounding integer of a float. In reply to Glen who commented: Glen 01-Dec-2007 04:22 <?php echo floor(1.6); // will output "1" echo floor(-1.6); // will output "-2" ?> instead use intval (seems to work v5.1.6): <?php echo intval(1.6); // will output "1" echo intval(-1.6); // will output "-1" ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 205.178.191.132 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.floor.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83478 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83478 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83478 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
