Description
Description
I occurred a problem with bcmath functions, bcadd, bcround specifically, where they do not support scientific notation numbers, for example 2.3314683517128E-14.
A solution that I found online was to use as bcround(sprintf("%.20f", (float)$rest['nett']), 9), but it is a bit hard to do that everywhere.
Wouldn't it be more logical for bc* functions to support 2.3314683517128E-14 since they support 0.0000000000000023314683517128 for example
