I've got this strange precision problem:
<?php
$decimals = 1;
$n=5.95;
echo "<br>n=",$n," ==> ",round($n, $decimals); // 5.95 ==> 6 !
$n = ( 11.9 ) / 2;
echo "<br>n=",$n," ==> ",round($n, $decimals); // 5.95 ==> 6 !
$n = ( 2.7 + 9.2 ) / 2;
echo "<br>n=",$n," ==> ",round($n, $decimals); // 5.95 ==> 5.9 ??
?>
To adjust it, i've done:
<?php
$n = ( 2.7 + 9.2 ) / 2;
$n += pow (10, -( $decimals + 2)) * 1;
echo "<br>n=",$n," ==> ",round($n, $decimals); // 5.951 ==> 6 !
?>
