If you will refer to chafy's reply  on 28-Feb-2007 06:13
<http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php#73537> 

The function round numbers to a given precision.

function toFixed($number, $round=2)
{ 
    
    $tempd = $number*pow(10,$round);
    $tempd1 = round($tempd);
    $number = $tempd1/pow(10,$round);
    return $number;
     
}
echo toFixed(5.555,2);  //return 5.56 

 

If your rounding issue is passed 2 decimal places. I found this function
covenant and problem solving. As for the accuracy  of the algorithm 

I disagree. I will need to see an example where the round() is inaccurate.
