Rounding Mechanism to nearest 0.05

Question

I would like to solve rounding mechanism by using php4,5.2 and below (not 5.3) Currently I am doing 0.05 rounding, something like this page:

http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=209&pg=657&ac=568

before rounding | after rounding

          89.90 | 89.90

          89.91 | 89.90

          89.92 | 89.90

          89.93 | 89.95

          89.94 | 89.95

          89.95 | 89.95

          89.96 | 89.95

          89.97 | 89.95

          89.98 | 90.00

          89.99 | 90.00

I try to use string to split it out and manually do adding, but not really a good solution, hoping here can find someone to solve it.

Answer 1

Conceptually, the procedure can be done as:

1. Divide by 0.05
   • or multiply by (1 / 0.05)
2. Round to nearest integer
3. Multiply by 0.05

Answer 2

use this function

function rndfunc($x){
  return round($x * 2, 1) / 2;
}
