note 35263 modified in function.round by danbrown

Many have thus far mentioned problems encountered when trying to add a small fuzz factor to a number such as 1.499999999. This is the way I get around that problem using , allbeit probably less efficient than assuming a small possiblitiy for error: <?php $numberToRound = 1.5; //Convert to string. $numberToRound = "$numberToRound"; //iff number ends in a "5", add fuzz if (eregi("$5", $pages)) $pages += .000001; $round = round($pages, 0); ?> --was-- Many have thus far mentioned problems encountered when trying to add a small fuzz factor to a number such as 1.499999999.
