Thank you for your interest in PHP.


I cannot reproduce this issue with PHP 5.2.8. Could you check again if the version used was actually PHP 5.2.8? If so, could you please give some more details on the operating system and/or environment that was used? (i.e. also the processor architecture etc.)

That said: PHP's rounding behaviour improved somewhat in 5.2.7 and significantly in 5.3.0 alpha 3. I'm quite certain the problem you describe is fixed in 5.3.0 alpha 3 - but the case you are describing should not occur in 5.2.8 either, so I'd appreciate further details on your OS and platform.

Upon further me paying attention, my system definately says 5.2.6

I sincerely apologize for wasting your time
