php - Multiplying number from XML gets rounded -

-

i pulling exchange rate yahoo's xml (euros dollars) think need multiply rate dynamic value. however, rate pulling not multiplying correctly.

<?php $xml=simplexml_load_file("http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20%2a%20from%20yahoo.finance.xchange%20where%20pair%20in%20%28%22eurusd%22%29&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys") or die();  foreach ($xml->results->rate $item){     $eur2usd = $item->rate; }  echo $eur2usd*2;        // gives me looks rounded number "2" echo 1.2475*2;          // when put in rate hand (1.2475) multiplication works = "2.495" ?>

why simple math not working?

edit - adding xml

<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:count="1" yahoo:created="2014-11-27t11:45:32z" yahoo:lang="en-us">     <results>         <rate id="eurusd">             <name>eur usd</name>             <rate>1.2482</rate>             <date>11/27/2014</date>             <time>6:44am</time>             <ask>1.2483</ask>             <bid>1.2481</bid>         </rate>     </results> </query>

you've run type-juggling anomaly. php sees you're trying multiply string , attempts cast type can multiplied. in infinite wisdom, reason casting string integer.

you should never rely on php's type juggling right thing because in rare cases when doesn't, produce unpredictable results. instead, should explicitly cast input data

$eur2usd = (float) $item->rate;

or

$eur2usd = floatval ($item->rate);

any ideas when firefox implement lengthadjust andtextlength?..... working svg application. lengthadjust , textlength working fine in chrome not working in fire fox . <svg viewbox = "0 0 500 300" version = "1.1"> <defs> <path id="s3" d="m 10,90 q 100,15 200,70" /> </defs> <g> <text font-size = "20"> <textpath xlink:href="#s3" textlength="205"> short text</textpath> </text> <use xlink:href="#s3" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"/> </g> </svg> this implemented in firefox text elements (not textpath or tspan) in case that's ok though can move attribute text element. <svg viewbox = "0 0 500 300" version = "1.1"> <defs>
