Data type conversion : all is integer

Anon

I ve got a problem I didn't notice before but is very anoying for me now :
All my variables are converted in integer an I can t get anything as double or float. For example :
$popotr = 1.96;
echo "X1=$popotr";
settype($popotr, "double");
echo "X2=$popotr";

Return on my page :
X1=1
X2=1

Anyone have an idea what s wrong ? Is there an environement setting I missed or anything else ?

Many thanks.

Try an explicit cast during assignment...

$popotr = (double) 1.96;

No I still got an integer.
IS anyone can test and tell me what s happen when doing that and display the result in a web page ?

Thanks again.

I just copied your code and ran it on my server - the results -
X1=1.96
X2=1.96

I don't know where your problem is coming from.

I've an integer and I want to convert it to double, but I don't get any decimals.

This is how it is:

$num1 = 458;
settype($num1,"double");

print $num1; //Prints "458"

I can't seem to get the ".00" at the end. Am I using the wrong function??

Please help.
