[PHP] Re: A long float number.

[Bogdan Stancescu]

Keeping it on one line doesn't affect the calculations (as it 
shouldn't). Try using either sprintf() or number_format() for this 
purpose (the latter is generally preferred, but I don't know exactlt 
what you're after).

How do I prevent a long float number end up like this after/during a
calculation?
8.5E-05      //A number error occurs.

I even tried keeping the whole calculation in 1 line:

//Get the weight (in pounds) of a O-Ring.
$N = round((0.03613 * 1.85 * ((pow(pi(), 2) * pow(($iDia[$d] - $oDia[$d]),
2) * ($iDia[$d] + $oDia[$d])) / 32)), 6);
Thanks in advance!
