note 111168 added to function.serialize

Serializing floating point numbers leads to weird precision offset errors: <?php echo round(96.670000000000002, 2); // 96.67 echo serialize(round(96.670000000000002, 2)); // d:96.670000000000002; echo serialize(96.67); // d:96.670000000000002; ?> Not only is this wrong, but it adds a lot of unnecessary bulk to serialized data. Probably better to use json_encode() instead (which apparently is faster than serialize(), anyway). ---- Server IP: 87.106.1.137 Probable Submitter: 89.182.56.29 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111168 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111168 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111168 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
