I don't understand what how you get your expected values.

// round(1.44444, 3, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP) (correct value: 1.445)

That would be the same as expected 0.00044 rounded to 3 digits to be 0.001. but 0.00044 is less than 0.0005 which is the halfway point to 0.001.


Similarly 0.00055 rounded to 3 figures is going to be 0.001 no matter the rounding.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

It's like @danack said; IOW the PHP_ROUND_HALF_* constants are
only relevant when the fractional part of $val * 10**$precision is
exactly 0.5.
