(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
round — Rounds a float
Parametersnum
The value to round.
precision
The optional number of decimal digits to round to.
If the precision
is positive, num
is rounded to precision
significant digits after the decimal point.
If the precision
is negative, num
is rounded to precision
significant digits before the decimal point, i.e. to the nearest multiple of pow(10, -$precision)
, e.g. for a precision
of -1 num
is rounded to tens, for a precision
of -2 to hundreds, etc.
mode
Use RoundingMode or one of the following constants to specify the mode in which rounding occurs.
Constants DescriptionPHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
Rounds num
away from zero when it is half way there, making 1.5 into 2 and -1.5 into -2. PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN
Rounds num
towards zero when it is half way there, making 1.5 into 1 and -1.5 into -1. PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN
Rounds num
towards the nearest even value when it is half way there, making both 1.5 and 2.5 into 2. PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD
Rounds num
towards the nearest odd value when it is half way there, making 1.5 into 1 and 2.5 into 3. However, please note that some newly added modes only exist in RoundingMode.
The value rounded to the given precision
as a float.
The function throws a ValueError if mode
is invalid. Prior to PHP 8.4.0, an invalid mode would silently default to PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP
.
mode
is invalid. 8.0.0 num
no longer accepts internal objects which support numeric conversion. 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(5.045, 2));
var_dump(round(5.055, 2));
var_dump(round(345, -2));
var_dump(round(345, -3));
var_dump(round(678, -2));
var_dump(round(678, -3));
?>
The above example will output:
float(3) float(4) float(4) float(4) float(5.05) float(5.06) float(300) float(0) float(700) float(1000)
Example #2 How precision
affects a float
<?php
$number = 135.79;var_dump(round($number, 3));
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));
?>
The above example will output:
float(135.79) float(135.79) float(135.8) float(136) float(140) float(100) 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
PHP_EOL;
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(-1.55, 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(-1.55, 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(-1.55, 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(-1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD));
?>
The above example will output:
Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.6) float(-1.6) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.5) float(-1.5) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.6) float(-1.6) Using PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD with 1 decimal digit precision float(1.5) float(-1.5)
Example #5 Example of using RoundingMode
<?php
foreach (RoundingMode::cases() as $mode) {
foreach ([
8.5,
9.5,
-3.5,
] as $number) {
printf("%-17s: %+.17g -> %+.17g\n", $mode->name, $number, round($number, 0, $mode));
}
echo "\n";
}
?>
The above example will output:
HalfAwayFromZero : +8.5 -> +9 HalfAwayFromZero : +9.5 -> +10 HalfAwayFromZero : -3.5 -> -4 HalfTowardsZero : +8.5 -> +8 HalfTowardsZero : +9.5 -> +9 HalfTowardsZero : -3.5 -> -3 HalfEven : +8.5 -> +8 HalfEven : +9.5 -> +10 HalfEven : -3.5 -> -4 HalfOdd : +8.5 -> +9 HalfOdd : +9.5 -> +9 HalfOdd : -3.5 -> -3 TowardsZero : +8.5 -> +8 TowardsZero : +9.5 -> +9 TowardsZero : -3.5 -> -3 AwayFromZero : +8.5 -> +9 AwayFromZero : +9.5 -> +10 AwayFromZero : -3.5 -> -4 NegativeInfinity : +8.5 -> +8 NegativeInfinity : +9.5 -> +9 NegativeInfinity : -3.5 -> -4 PositiveInfinity : +8.5 -> +9 PositiveInfinity : +9.5 -> +10 PositiveInfinity : -3.5 -> -3takingsides at gmail dot com ¶

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
function truncate($val, $f="0")
{
if(($p = strpos($val, '.')) !== false) {
$val = floatval(substr($val, 0, $p + 1 + $f));
}
return $val;
}
?>

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)

Unexpected result or misunderstanding (php v5.5.9)
<?phpecho round(1.55, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN); echo round(1.551, 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN); ?>

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.

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 .

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!
<?php
$a=3/4;
echo round($a, 2); setlocale(LC_ALL, 'it_IT@euro', 'it_IT', 'it');
$b=3/4;
echo round($b,2); ?>

This function will let you round to an arbitrary non-zero number. Zero of course causes a division by zero.
<?php
function roundTo($number, $to){
return round($number/$to, 0)* $to;
}
echo
roundTo(87.23, 20); echo roundTo(-87.23, 20); echo roundTo(87.23, .25); echo roundTo(.23, .25); ?>

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); RoundSigDigs(1241757, 3); ?>
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;
}
?>
