PHP Round function - round up to 2 dp?

Question

In PHP how would i round up the value 22.04496 so that it becomes 22.05? It seems that round(22.04496,2) = 22.04. Should it not be 22.05??

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

you can do it using ceil and multiplying and dividing by a power of 10.

echo ceil( 1.012345 * 1000)/1000;

1.013

Answer 2

Do not do multiplication inside a ceil, floor or round function! You'll get floating point errors and it can be extremely unpredictable. To avoid this do:

function ceiling($value, $precision = 0) {
    $offset = 0.5;
    if ($precision !== 0)
        $offset /= pow(10, $precision);
    $final = round($value + $offset, $precision, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN);
    return ($final == -0 ? 0 : $final);
}

For example ceiling(2.2200001, 2) will give 2.23.

Based on comments I've also added my floor function as this has similar problems:

function flooring($value, $precision = 0) {
    $offset = -0.5;
    if ($precision !== 0)
        $offset /= pow(10, $precision);
    $final = round($value + $offset, $precision, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP);
    return ($final == -0 ? 0 : $final);
}
