Hello,
I remember there was a warning in the PHP Manual about
this. This is it:
** Never cast an unknown fraction to integer, as this
can sometimes lead to unexpected results.
** echo (int) ( (0.1+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 7!
So do your calculations first, and then echo the
results. This way you get good habits in programming.
And your code will be easier to read as well!
Greetz,
