<?php
echo (2.3 * 100) . ' - ' . round(2.3 * 100, 0) . ' - ' . floor(2.3 * 100);
?>.
Result:
230 - 230 - 229
Be careful!
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
floor — Redondear fracciones hacia abajo
Devuelve el siguiente valor de tipo integer (como float), redondeando
value si fuera necesario.
valueEl valor numérico a redondear
value redondeado al anterior entero más bajo. El
valor de retorno de floor() sigue siendo de tipo
float ya que el rango de valores de float es
usualmente mayor que el del tipo integer. Esta función devuelve FALSE en caso de error (p.ej., al pasar un array).
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de floor()
<?php
echo floor(4.3); // 4
echo floor(9.999); // 9
echo floor(-3.14); // -4
?><?php
echo (2.3 * 100) . ' - ' . round(2.3 * 100, 0) . ' - ' . floor(2.3 * 100);
?>.
Result:
230 - 230 - 229
Be careful!Note:
<?php
$int = 0.99999999999999999;
echo floor($int); // returns 1
?>
and
<?php
$int = 0.9999999999999999;
echo floor($int); // returns 0
?>Beware of FLOAT weirdness!
Floats have a mind of their own, and what may look like an integer stored in a float isn't.
Here's a baffling example of how floor can be tripped up by this:
<?php
$price = 79.99;
print $price."\r\n"; // correct result, 79.99 shown
$price = $price * 100;
print $price."\r\n"; // correct result, 7999 shown
print floor($price); // 7998 shown! what's going on?
?>
The thing to remember here is that the way a float stores a value makes it very easy for these kind of things to happen. When the 79.99 was multiplied by 100, the actual value stored in the float was probably something like 7998.9999999999999999999999999999999999, PHP would print out 7999 when the value is displayed but floor would therefore round this down to 7998.
THe moral of this story - never use float for anything that needs to be accurate! If you're doing prices for products or a shopping cart, then always use an integer and store prices as a number of pence, you'll thank me for this later :)
