Using intval on a floating point number loses the numbers after the decimal place.
So 19.99 would become 19.
You would need to use floatval instead see here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.floatval.php
@winbill, for your examples you would do
<?php
$n="19.99";
print floatval( $n * 100 ); // prints 1999
//Or
print floatval( strval( $n * 100 ) ); // prints 1999
//Or
print floatval( strval( $n ) * 100 ); // also prints 1999
?>
