Stop number rounding up/down

[only1perky]

Hi Guys,

 

I have a voting script on my site which works alright and stores total votes and the total value in the database.

 

I am now trying to work out the average of the votes using:

$average = $totalvalue / $totalvotes;

 

This kind of works but when $average is inserted into the database (float 5,2 by the way) is automatically rounds up or down.

 

For example

 

$totalvalue = 7

$totalvotes = 2

 

The average I would like to be displayed is 3.5 but it is storing 4.00.

 

Am I missing something obvious?

 

Please help.

check precision in your php.ini file i am guessing it is set to zero

or add

ini_set("precision",14);

to the top of your script

(14 is the default value)
