note 41621 added to function.sprintf

Regarding the previous posting: I just wanted to give an explanation. This should be because the float to string / integer to string conversion (you are using a string, multiplying it with a float value what php automatically causes to convert the string to a float value). This is a general "problem" (or not), but not that hard to explain. Where an integer or float starts with 0, in a string it does obviously with 1. So if you are using a string your value will increase by one (You started with a string, so it does not increase but contain the real result. If you start using a float value by not using '' around the value, you have to output the float value as well. This is just the PHP conversion.) Try putting $x = strval( $x ); after $x = $x * 100; and using your example again. You will see that the output will change to 13664 = 13664 because of the general string conversion. It seems that PHP is converting a float to a string by inceasing by one. By doing the same with intval instead of strval the output changes to 13663 = 13663. ! sprintf seems to behave wrong when using the conversation to an integer value and NOT doing the conversation at all. So use intval to convert to an integer value or strval to convert to a string value BEFORE using sprintf. This should be solving the problems. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41621 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41621&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41621&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
