For mysql, it's better to use int and then store it in cents (or

To each his own.  Speed or otherwise I don't see a difference between:

$total = 19.95 + 3.99; //shipping

and

$total = 1995 + 399; //shipping

Except with the ints you have to format them for display.

You have to format the floats too:

<?php

    $total = 5.55 + 9.35;
    echo $total."\n";

?>

Cheers,
