Description
$val
[, int $precision
= 0
[, int $mode
= PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
]] ) : float
Returns the rounded value of val
to
specified precision
(number of digits after the decimal point).
precision
can also be negative or zero (default).
Note: PHP doesn't handle strings like "12,300.2" correctly by default. See converting from strings.
Parameters
-
val
-
The value to round.
-
precision
-
The optional number of decimal digits to round to.
If the
precision
is positive, the rounding will occur after the decimal point.If the
precision
is negative, the rounding will occur before the decimal point. If the absolute value of theprecision
is greater than or equal to the number of digits, the result of the rounding is equal to 0 -
mode
-
Use one of the following constants to specify the mode in which rounding occurs.
Constants Description PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
Round val
up toprecision
decimal places away from zero, when it is half way there. Making 1.5 into 2 and -1.5 into -2.PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN
Round val
down toprecision
decimal places towards zero, when it is half way there. Making 1.5 into 1 and -1.5 into -1.PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN
Round val
toprecision
decimal places towards the nearest even value.PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD
Round val
toprecision
decimal places towards the nearest odd value.
Examples
Example #1 round() examples
<?php
var_dump(round(3.4));
var_dump(round(3.5));
var_dump(round(3.6));
var_dump(round(3.6, 0));
var_dump(round(1.95583, 2));
var_dump(round(1241757, -3));
var_dump(round(5.045, 2));
var_dump(round(5.055, 2));
?>
The above example will output:
float(3) float(4) float(4) float(4) float(1.96) float(1242000) float(5.05) float(5.06)
Example #2 How precision
affects a float
<?php
$number = 1346.21;
var_dump(round($number, 2));
var_dump(round($number, 1));
var_dump(round($number, 0));
var_dump(round($number, -1));
var_dump(round($number, -2));
var_dump(round($number, -3));
var_dump(round($number, -4));
?>
The above example will output:
float(1346.21) float(1346.2) float(1346) float(1350) float(1300) float(1000) float(0)
Example #3 mode
examples
<?php
echo 'Rounding modes with 9.5' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
var_dump(round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
var_dump(round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
var_dump(round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
echo 'Rounding modes with 8.5' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
var_dump(round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
var_dump(round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
var_dump(round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
?>
The above example will output:
Rounding modes with 9.5 float(10) float(9) float(10) float(9) Rounding modes with 8.5 float(9) float(8) float(8) float(9)
Example #4 mode
with precision
examples
<?php
echo 'Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP with 1 decimal digit precision' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round( 1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
var_dump(round( 1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
var_dump(round(-1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
var_dump(round(-1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP));
echo PHP_EOL;
echo 'Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN with 1 decimal digit precision' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round( 1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
var_dump(round( 1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
var_dump(round(-1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
var_dump(round(-1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN));
echo PHP_EOL;
echo 'Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN with 1 decimal digit precision' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round( 1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
var_dump(round( 1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
var_dump(round(-1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
var_dump(round(-1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN));
echo PHP_EOL;
echo 'Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD with 1 decimal digit precision' . PHP_EOL;
var_dump(round( 1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
var_dump(round( 1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
var_dump(round(-1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
var_dump(round(-1.54, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
?>
The above example will output:
Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.6) float(1.5) float(-1.6) float(-1.5) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.5) float(1.5) float(-1.5) float(-1.5) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.6) float(1.5) float(-1.6) float(-1.5) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.5) float(1.5) float(-1.5) float(-1.5)
