Many have thus far mentioned problems encountered when trying to add a small fuzz factor to a number such as 1.499999999. This is the way I get around that problem using , allbeit probably less efficient than assuming a small possiblitiy for error: $numberToRound = 1.5; //Convert to string. $numberToRound = "$numberToRound"; //iff number ends in a "5", add fuzz if (eregi("$5", $pages)) $pages += .000001; $round = round($pages, 0); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35263 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35263&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35263&report=yes
