variable resets at 1000...help!

this is something very strange...in a foreach loop, i'm counting the items' quantity ($itemQty) and price ($itemSubtot).

then there's a final total of prices ($total) and qty ($pcs). funny thing is, it all works until $itemSubTot hits $1000. that by itself displays correctly, but it then resets $total to $1.00!

say i have 5 items, each with a subtotal displayed as $999.00. $total will display $4995.00. but if just one of those item's subtotal goes to $1000, $total will go to $1.00 + $3996...which is $3997!

if it goes to $2000, total shows $2.00 and so on. what on earth is going on?

here's a snippet of my code that deals with this.

foreach
{

     ...some code removed...		
						
     $itemQty= $_SESSION['cartSizes'][$uniq_ID][1] + $_SESSION['cartSizes'][$uniq_ID][2]];
                        
     $output[] = '<td >'.$itemQty.'</td>';
     $output[] = '<td>$'.$price.'</td>';
                        
     $itemSubTot = number_format($price * ($_SESSION['cartSizes'][$uniq_ID][1] + $_SESSION['cartSizes'][$uniq_ID][2], 2) ;

     $output[] = '<td>$'.$itemSubTot.'</td>';                
                                  
     $total += $itemSubTot;
     $pcs +=  $itemQty;
						
     $output[] = '</tr>';
}

$output[] = '</table>';
$output[] = '<p>Total Pcs: '.$pcs.'</p>';
$output[] = '<p>Purchase Subtotal: $'.number_format($total, 2).'</p>';

PHP:

 

When you use number_format for numbers above 999, it will return: 1,000 and this is a string and not an integer value.
So PHP will try to convert it to an integer and make it into 1.

You need to remove number_format from $itemSubTot line:

to:

Use number_format only when you want to print the number.

 

i just realized something and updated the root post. $total actually does go over $1000, but only if none of the $itemSubTot values go over $1000 themselves. so if there's 10 $itemSubTot to loop through and they're all under $1000 individually but collectively add up to over $1000, $total will work.

both $itemSubTot and $total are printed to the screen. and even if an $itemSubTot is over $1000 by itself, it will print correctly, but when you add it to $total, $total will not display correctly.

you way works, i just got rid of the number_format where i declared the variable, and just added number_format to when i need to display it. thanks!!!!

 

PHP will not round something automatically (as far as I know).

If you do want to round $itemSubTot just add number_format to the output line:

 

yup, just got it! thanks man! i was thinking that php would round it first, so me using the number_format after the rounding would be useless. but thank god it's not the case!
