Any explanation, anybody? $basePrice = 600*0.82; // will be 492 echo $basePrice; // will be 491 echo (int)$basePrice; This will fix the problem. $basePrice = round(600*0.82); // will be 492 echo $basePrice; // will be 492 echo (int)$basePrice; Strange doubles, we get the same error in c double basePrice = 600; // basePrice = 492.00000000000 basePrice = basePrice*0.82; // nBasePrice = 491 int nBasePrice = (int)basePrice; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34851 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34851&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34851&report=yes
