I also took the time to upgrade to 5.2.5 (which was harder than it should of been, I had to repair the installation before Apache could run with the dlls). Having got it running, the calculation once again produced the expected result.. Incidentally, your use of var_dump is incorrect. It doesn't return a value, but sends output directly -- Niel Archer
