Description:
------------
Hello,

i have a big problem with number_format. My provider has two PHP-versions 4.4.7 and 5.2.3! On both versions there is the following bug:

number_format('1499.994', 2, ',', '.') results 1.499,99 = OK
number_format('1499.995', 2, ',', '.') results 1.499,99 = ERROR
number_format('1499.996', 2, ',', '.') results 1.500,00 = OK

strange is, that on my computer, wher PHP 5 ist lokal running, everything is OK

Can somebody help me?

Best regards

Boris

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
