Missing decimal when totaling from XML

[trapez]

 

When totaling up the <total> from  XML the decimal is dropped off completely, im totally clueless and new to PHP.

 

Below is cut down sample that shows the decimal missing ONLY when i attempt to add the number (sample-3 & sample-4),

but moving the XML <total> to another field retains the decimal (sample-2).

 

Can someone shed some light on this?? thanks

 

<?php

$xml = '

<invoice-headers>

  <invoice-lines>

  <invoice-line>

        <total type="decimal">5002.99</total>

      </invoice-line>

  </invoice-lines>

</invoice-headers>

  ';

 

$tltamt = 0.00;

$total  = 0.00;

 

  $Invoices = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

      foreach ($Invoices->{'invoice-lines'}->{'invoice-line'} as $invoiceline) {

  $tltsave = $invoiceline->total;

  $tltamt += $tltsave;

  $total=number_format($tltsave + $total, 2);

  echo "sample-1: " . $invoiceline->total."<br>";

  echo "sample-2: " . $tltsave."<br>";

  echo "sample-3: " . $tltamt ."<br>";

  echo "sample-4: " . $total  ."<br>";

  }

?>

try to explicite convert value to float type

change line

$tltsave = $invoiceline->total

to

$tltsave = (float)$invoiceline->total

Thanks sasa!

 

From what I read, $invoiceline->totalis is an object and requires like you said a float.

 

I would have a similar problem comparing as a string I would have to cast as a string then do the compare.
