Compare floats in php

Question

I want to compare two floats in PHP, like in this sample code:

$a = 0.17;
$b = 1 - 0.83; //0.17
if($a == $b ){
 echo \'a and b are same\';
}
else {
 echo \'a         


        

Answer 1

This works for me on PHP 5.3.27.

$payments_total = 123.45;
$order_total = 123.45;

if (round($payments_total, 2) != round($order_total, 2)) {
   // they don't match
}
