round

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

round — Rundet einen Gleitkommawert

Beschreibung

round(int|float $num, int $precision = 0, int $mode = PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP): float

Rundet den Parameter num auf die mit precision angegebene Anzahl von Nachkommastellen. precision kann dabei auch Null (Vorgabewert) oder negativ sein. So wird bei einer Stellenzahl von -1 z. B. auf volle Zehner gerundet.

Parameter-Liste

num

Der zu rundende Wert.

precision

Auf wie viele Nachkommastellen gerundet werden soll.

Ist die Genauigkeit precision positiv, wird num auf precision signifikante Stellen nach dem Dezimalpunkt gerundet.

Ist die Genauigkeit precision negativ, wird num auf precision signifikante Stellen vor dem Dezimalpunkt gerundet, d. h. auf das nächste Vielfache von pow(10, -precision), z. B. wird num mit einer precision von -1 auf Zehner gerundet, mit einer precision von -2 auf Hunderter usw.

mode

Eine der folgenden Konstanten kann verwendet werden, um den Rundungsmodus festzulegen.

Konstanten	Beschreibung
`PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP`	Rundet `num` auf halber Strecke von Null weg, womit 1.5 zu 2 wird und -1.5 zu -2.
`PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN`	Rundet `num` auf halber Strecke zu Null hin, womit 1.5 zu 1 wird und -1.5 zu -1.
`PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN`	Rundet `num` auf halber Strecke auf den nächsten geraden Wert, womit sowohl 1.5 als auch 2.5 zu 2 werden.
`PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD`	Rundet `num` auf halber Strecke auf den nächsten ungeraden Wert, womit 1.5 zu 1 wird und 2.5 zu 3.

Rückgabewerte

Der auf die angegebene precision gerundete Wert als Float.

Changelog

Version	Beschreibung
8.0.0	`num` akzeptiert keine internen Objekte mehr, die eine numerische Konvertierung unterstützen.

In my opinion this function lacks two flags:

- PHP_ROUND_UP - Always round up.
- PHP_ROUND_DOWN - Always round down.

In accounting, it's often necessary to always round up, or down to a precision of thousandths.

<?php
function round_up($number, $precision = 2)
{
    $fig = (int) str_pad('1', $precision, '0');
    return (ceil($number * $fig) / $fig);
}

function round_down($number, $precision = 2)
{
    $fig = (int) str_pad('1', $precision, '0');
    return (floor($number * $fig) / $fig);
}
?>

As PHP doesn't have a a native number truncate function, this is my solution - a function that can be usefull if you need truncate instead round a number.

<?php
/**
 * Truncate a float number, example: <code>truncate(-1.49999, 2); // returns -1.49
 * truncate(.49999, 3); // returns 0.499
 * </code>
 * @param float $val Float number to be truncate
 * @param int f Number of precision
 * @return float
 */
function truncate($val, $f="0")
{
    if(($p = strpos($val, '.')) !== false) {
        $val = floatval(substr($val, 0, $p + 1 + $f));
    }
    return $val;
}
?>

Solving round_down() problem: 
-----------------------------
Use of <?php floor(pow(10, $precision) * $value) / pow(10, $precision); ?> fails in some cases, e.g. round_down(2.05, 2) gives incorrect 2.04.
Here is a "string" solution (https://stackoverflow.com/a/26491492/1245149) of the problem (a negative precision is not covered):

<?php
function round_down($value, $precision) {        
    $value = (float)$value;
    $precision = (int)$precision;
    if ($precision < 0) { 
        $precision = 0;
    }
    $decPointPosition = strpos($value, '.');
    if ($decPointPosition === false) { 
        return $value;
    }
    return (float)(substr($value, 0, $decPointPosition + $precision + 1));        
} 
?>

Solving round_up() problem:
---------------------------
Use of <?php ceil(pow(10, $precision) * $value) / pow(10, $precision);?> fails in some cases, e.g. round_up(2.22, 2) gives incorrect 2.23 (https://stackoverflow.com/a/8239620/1245149).
Adapting the above round_down() "string" solution I have got this result (a negative precision is not covered):

<?php
function round_up($value, $precision) {        
    $value = (float)$value;
    $precision = (int)$precision;
    if ($precision < 0) { 
        $precision = 0;
    }
    $decPointPosition = strpos($value, '.');
    if ($decPointPosition === false) { 
        return $value;
    }
    $floorValue = (float)(substr($value, 0, $decPointPosition + $precision + 1));
    $followingDecimals = (int)substr($value, $decPointPosition + $precision + 1);
    if ($followingDecimals) {
        $ceilValue = $floorValue + pow(10, -$precision); // does this give always right result?
    }
    else {
        $ceilValue = $floorValue;
    }
    return $ceilValue;                
}
?>

I don't know it is bulletproof, but at least it removes the above mentioned fail. I have done no binary-to-decimal-math-analysis but if `$floorValue + pow(10, 0 - $precision)` works
always as expected then it should be ok.

When you have a deal with money like dollars, you need to display it under this condition:
-format all number with two digit decimal for cents.
-divide 1000 by ,
-round half down for number with more than two decimal

I approach it using round function inside the number_format function:

number_format((float)round( 625.371 ,2, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN),2,'.',',')  // 625.37
number_format((float)round( 625.379 ,2, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN),2,'.',',')  // 625.38
number_format((float)round( 1211.20 ,2, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN),2,'.',',')  // 1,211.20
number_format((float)round( 625 ,2, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN),2,'.',',')      // 625.00

If you have negative zero and you need return positive number simple add +0:

$number = -2.38419e-07;
var_dump(round($number,1));//float(-0)
var_dump(round($number,1) + 0);//float(0)

I discovered that under some conditions you can get rounding errors with round when converting the number to a string afterwards.

To fix this I swapped round() for number_format().

Unfortunately i cant give an example (because the number cant be represented as a string !)

essentially I had round(0.688888889,2);

which would stay as 0.68888889 when printed as a string.

But using number_format it correctly became 0.69.

Excel-like ROUNDUP function:

public static function round_up($value, $places) 
{
    $mult = pow(10, abs($places)); 
     return $places < 0 ?
    ceil($value / $mult) * $mult :
        ceil($value * $mult) / $mult;
}

echo round_up(12345.23, 1); // 12345.3
echo round_up(12345.23, 0); // 12346 
echo round_up(12345.23, -1); // 12350 
echo round_up(12345.23, -2); // 12400 
echo round_up(12345.23, -3); // 13000 
echo round_up(12345.23, -4); // 20000

Okay, final version of my function:

function NumberPrecision($n, $precision=0, $is_round=true)
            {
            if ($is_round)
                {
                $r = 5 * pow(10, -($precision+1));
                $n += (($n < 0) ? -$r : $r);
                }
            
            $comma = '.';
            
            $r = 5 * pow(10, -($precision+2));
            $n += (($n > 0) ? -$r : $r);
            $n = number_format($n, $precision+1, $comma, '');
            
            $n .= $comma;
            list($n, $frac) = explode($comma, $n, 2);
            $n = rtrim(rtrim($n, $comma) . $comma . substr($frac, 0, $precision), $comma);
            return ($n);
            }

It can be useful in come cases when built-in function like round() or number_format() returns unexpected results. Works with positive and negative numbers, zero, numbers like 1/12, 0.3, numbers in scientific notation etc.

Here is function that rounds to a specified increment, but always up. I had to use it for price adjustment that always went up to $5 increments.



<?php  

function roundUpTo($number, $increments) {

    $increments = 1 / $increments;

    return (ceil($number * $increments) / $increments);

If you'd only want to round for displaying variables (not for calculating on the rounded result) then you should use printf with the float:



<?php printf ("%6.2f",3.39532); ?>



This returns: 3.40 .

Please note that the format of this functions output also depends on your locale settings. For example, if you have set your locale to some country that uses commas to separate decimal places, the output of this function also uses commas instead of dots.

This might be a problem when you are feeding the rounded float number into a database, which requires you to separate decimal places with dots.

See it in action:
<?php
    echo round('3.5558', 2);
    setlocale(constant('LC_ALL'), 'et_EE.UTF-8');
    echo '<br />'. round('3.5558', 2);
?>

The output will be:
3.56
3,56

this function (as all mathematical operators) takes care of the setlocale setting, resulting in some weirdness when using the result where the english math notation is expected, as the printout of the result in a width: style attribute!

round() will sometimes return E notation when rounding a float when the amount is small enough - see  https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44223 .  Apparently it's a feature.

To work around this "feature" when converting to a string, surround your round statement with an sprintf:

sprintf("%.10f", round( $amountToBeRounded, 10));

Here's a function to round to an arbitary number of significant digits. Don't confuse it with rounding to a negative precision - that counts back from the decimal point, this function counts forward from the Most Significant Digit.



ex:



<?php

round(1241757, -3); // 1242000

RoundSigDigs(1241757, 3); // 1240000

?>



Works on negative numbers too. $sigdigs should be >= 0



<?php

function RoundSigDigs($number, $sigdigs) {

    $multiplier = 1;

    while ($number < 0.1) {

        $number *= 10;

        $multiplier /= 10;

    }

    while ($number >= 1) {

        $number /= 10;

        $multiplier *= 10;

    }

    return round($number, $sigdigs) * $multiplier;

}

?>

It should just be noted that what is called "precision" on this page is more correctly called accuracy; precision is the total number of significant digits on both sides of the decimal point, while accuracy is the number of digits to the right of the point. It's a common confusion.

Note that PHP 5.3 didn't just introduce $mode, it rewrote the rounding implementation completely to eliminate many kinds of rounding errors common to rounding floating point values.

That's why round() gives you the correct result even when floor/ceil don't.
For example,  floor(0.285 * 100 + 0.5) VS round(0.285*100 + 0.5). First one gives 28, second one gives 29.

To round any number to a given number of significant digits, use log10 to find out its magnitude:



<?php round($n, ceil(0 - log10($n)) + $sigdigits); ?>



Or when you have to display a per-unit price which may work out to be less than a few cents/pence/yen you can use:



<?php

// $exp = currency decimal places - 0 for Yen/Won, 2 for most others

$dp = ceil(0 - log10($n)) + $sigdigits;

$display = number_format($amount, ($exp>$dp)?$exp:$dp);

?>



This always displays at least the number of decimal places required by the currency, but more if displaying the unit price with precision requires it - eg: 'English proofreading from $0.0068 per word', 'English beer from $6.80 per pint'.

Beware strange behaviour if number is negative and precision is bigger than the actual number of digits after comma.

round(-0.07, 4);

returns

-0.07000000000000001

So if you validate it against a regular expression requiring the maximum amount of digits after comma, you'll get into trouble.

In case someone will need a "graceful" rounding (that changes it's precision to get a non 0 value) here's a simple function:

function gracefulRound($val, $min = 2, $max = 4) {
    $result = round($val, $min);
    if ($result == 0 && $min < $max) {
        return gracefulRound($val, ++$min, $max);
    } else {
        return $result;
    }
}

Usage:
$_ = array(0.5, 0.023, 0.008, 0.0007, 0.000079, 0.0000048);
foreach ($_ as $val) {
    echo "{$val}: ".gracefulRound($val)."\n";
}

Output:
0.5: 0.5
0.023: 0.02
0.008: 0.01
0.0007: 0.001
0.000079: 0.0001

the result of this function always depends on the underlying C function. There have been a lot of compiler bugs and floating-point precission problems involving this function. Right now the following code:

<?php
echo round(141.075, 2);
?>

returns:

141.07

on my machine.
So never really trust this function when you do critical calculations like accounting stuff!
Instead: use only integers or use string comparisons.

Because this function is missing round up and round down constants and the top note doesn't really show you how to round up or down to the nearest number, here is an easy way to always round up or always round down to the nearest number.

int is the number you want to round

n is the nearest number you want rounded to.

Round up to the nearest number

function round_up($int, $n) {
    return ceil($int / $n) * $n;
}

And to round down to the nearest number

function round_down(int, $n) {
    return floor($int / $n) * $n;
}

Since the mode parameter for options like PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP is available as of PHP 5.3, here is an alternative for ceiling:



<?php echo 252 / 40; // 6.3 ?>



If I round this:



<?php echo round(252 / 40); // 6 ?>



You can also use a ceil (which might be useful for pagination):



<?php echo ceil(252/40); // 7 ?>
