PHP Strict Type?

[ballhogjoni]

Is there a strict type for decimal? I've done it with int and float.

 

php > $a = (int)1.2;

php > echo $a;

1

php > $a = (decimal)1.2;

PHP Parse error:  parse error in php shell code on line 1

php > $a = (float)1.2;

php > echo $a;

1.2

There is no "decimal" type in PHP.  What are you trying to accomplish?

(float) is what you'd use for a decimal number. If your looking for a fixed-point decimal type, there is no such native type in PHP. You would have to implement such a thing yourself with a class.
