note 54494 added to language.types.float

Concider the following: (19.6*100) != 1960 echo gettype(19.6*100) returns 'double', However even ..... (19.6*100) !== (double)1960 19.6*100 cannot be compaired to anything without manually casting it as something else first. (string)(19.6*100) == 1960 Rule of thumb, if it has a decimal point, use the BCMath functions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54494 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54494&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54494&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
