When converting from a float to an int, PHP just strips the decimal point and everything after it. For example:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



echo (int) 4856756.55;



// echo's 4856756

Take a look at my article on Variables for more info: TalkPHP - Variables for Beginners

For more precise numbers, you'll need to use the BCMath extension in PHP: PHP: BC math - Manual
