[Resolved] problem with session variables and floating point vars

[TomNL]

Hi everyone,

I am having a bit of a problem working with session variables and doubles.

I am handing a floatingpoint value to a script via a form (using $_GET).
Then the script does a calculation:

	$_SESSION['total'] = $_SESSION['total'] + $_GET['prize'];  

$SESSION['total'] already contains a value and $GET['prize'] has to be added to that value.

While the outcome should be 12.50 after calculation, session var 'total' only shows 12.

I've tried working with settype but that didn't help.
I must be overlooking something. 🙁

Have you looked into using the [man]round[/man] function to round out to 2 significant digits?

Hi Defender,

Thanks for your reply. I found the problem just now.
There was a problem in my database where the script gets the posted value from.
No PHP problem after all.

Well, the important thing is the issue is resolved. Have a nice day.
