Just so I never foget… observe the following test cases -
$foo = 8.37*40*0.175*100; echo $foo.' == '.(int)$foo; > 5859 == 5858 $foo = 8.37*40*0.175*100; echo $foo.' == '.round($foo); > 5859 == 5859
I believe that casing to INT will round towards zero as documented in the php docs, I also believe the 5858 number above is because the floating point number is always fractional…
another interesting one -
$foo = 8.37*40*0.175*100; echo $foo.' == '.(int)(string)$foo; > 5859 == 5859
By casting to string first the floating point element is removed….
