[SOLVED] datatype help

[sasori]

let's say i wanna create a class that will accept either integer or float, is it advisable to make 2 different classes?

<?php
class Customerorder
{
   private $total = 0; //for integer
   function addtotal($amount)
   {
     $this->total = $this->total + $amount;
     echo "$amount was added; current total is $this->total";
   }
}

class Customerorder
{
  private $total = 0.0; //for float
  function addtotal($amount)
  {
    if(is_numeric($amount))
    {
      $this->total = $this->total + $amount;
        echo "$total is added; current total is $this->total";
    }
    else
    {
      echo "the value passed is not numeric";
    }
  }
}
?>
