RE: [PHP-NOTES] note 28315 added to functions.arguments

What I need to know, in the case of 2.0, is that the input is a floating point number with an accuracy of one decimal place. If the input is 2.00, I need to know that the 2 is accurate to 2 decimal places. If the input is 2.10, then I need to know it is 2.10, not 2.1. I am writing functions and classes to be used by other people. I have to know the exact input no matter if they type it in to their code, pass it as a variable, or via some other means. The one case where I have not received the exact input is where someone has typed f(2.0, 2.1); Within the function, PHP tells me 2.0 is int(2) instead of float(2.0). 3.30 becomes 3.3. I have not tested floats using e notation. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesus M.
