float

[charlie]

I posted this also in the ASE-Group but maybe here is the better
place.
I want to port some of my PHP-scripts I already have to my android
phone. These scripts are mainly used for mathemathical issues, and
therefore I discoverd that PFA cannot handle the float-type.

For example, "echo 10/5;" gives the correct result but "echo 10/6;"
just brings up "[1] + Stopped (signal)" without any result.

Is this a known issue? Is there are workaround for this?

regards, charlie

I've also experienced such problems, but do not have the solution for now.

We'll check it out. The built in php source is a bit tweaked to be
able to link against bionic. There might be a bug because of that. If
you find a workaround, let us now.

Seems like We commented the echo float function. So, internally the
floats should be working. Try to echo its value with ASE's api instead
of php's echo please. I know that It's a dirty workround but We might
not have time to address this issue today.

Thanks in advance

Seems like my proposed workaround doesn't work so We might replace the
binary. If

Hi!

I have tried to echo using both (string)$val and number_format($val),
but it's not working on my android...

So I just wrote a dirty little function which seems to be working:

function float2string($value,$decimal_sign = "." ,$no_decs) {
return (int)$value . ( ($no_decs > 0)?
$decimal_sign .(int)(fmod($value,((int)$value)) * pow(10,$no_decs))
:
'');
}

$v = 5/4;
echo flaot2string($v,".",2);
// Will echo 1.25

Hope it helps until we wait for the next release with this issue solved.

Cheers!

Great!

I've started a page about known issues and its workarounds:
http://phpforandroid.net/releases:known_issues
and a draft with some kind of roadmap: http://phpforandroid.net/roadmap

@Charlie, can you go on with this workaround?


Regards.

Thank you all for your help! I ported the first script now to perl and
as soon as I find a way to use both perl and php in one SL4A package I
will try PFA again.
