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

You have to options, 1) Force the use of a string representation, or 2) Submit a bug report and ask for a change of behavior with the reasons why. In any of theses cases it seems that the note should be then removed. Mainly because you expected that the internal representation of a float w/o decimal part corresponded to the characters being output to display it. Your note will be removed, go to bugs.php.net and submit your change of behaviour request. --- Peter Moulding <pmoulding@tedis.com.au> wrote: > 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.
