note 7982 added to Type Juggling

We are using the money type of variable in a postgres database. When retrieving mfg_list_price, we needed to recast this string as a numeric variable before doing multiplication. I came up with the following solution: <pre> $mfg_list_price=ereg_replace("[^0-9.]","",$mfg_list_price); #strip the leading $ sign $mfg_list_price++; $mfg_list_price--; Our programmer, Joy Chen, noticed that this did not work properly -- every mfg_list_price was 0.01 higher than it ought to be. The solution was to substitute $mfg_list_price=$mfg_list_price+1; for $mfg_list_price++; when recasting the variable. This led to the proper solution. http://www.php.net/manual/language.types.type-juggling.php
