Hi!
I'm back hahaha :D
I'm making functions to calculate the duration (only laboral days)
between 2 dates and the initial and final date between a duration give
me in laboral days.
I use the following function to make the diference between 2 dates:
function fecDiferenciaFechas($fecFechaInicio,$fecFechaFin)
{
$fecFechaInicio=strtotime($fecFechaInicio);
$fecFechaFin=strtotime($fecFechaFin);
if ($fecFechaFin == -1 || $fecFechaInicio == -1)
{
return false;
}
$iDiferencia = $fecFechaFin - $fecFechaInicio;
//Inicializamos la variable
$iDias = 0;
//Devolvemos la diferencia en dias
return ($iDiferencia/86400);
}
The problem is that with a duration of 220 the return is 219.958333,
where im losing precision?
computers can't stores floats precisely, precision errors are. Rasmus gave a good explaination
of this on this list not so long ago - that said there is lots of info on this on the web,
here is one good article to get you started:
http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
on a more practical note take a look at the following php functions:
round(), ceil(), floor()
one of those should provide you with a 'fix' to the precision error(s) you are
seeing.
(Sorry for my home english :P)
Don't worry about it! my spanish begins and ends at 'Hasta la vista' ;-)
actually that's not strictly true - I managed to have a whole conversation
in Spanish once only using the word 'bale' (I think there is supposed to be an accent on
the 'e' of 'bale')
(btw. I couldn't quite figure out what 'home english' is)
