This question already has an answer here:
I am trying to fetch the correct datatype from mysql with PDO on php. I have a Problem with float values. Even if the column in table is set to FLOAT(10,2), PDO isnt giving me back the correct number of decimals. Is this a PDO bug? I am using Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8y PHP/5.4.16 and mysqlnd 5.0.10. Is there any way to get back the correct result which is not something like round($var, 2)?
$sDbHost = 'someip';
$sDbUser = 'root';
$sDbPass = '';
$oPdo = new PDO("mysql:host={$sDbHost}", $sDbUser, $sDbPass);
$oPdoConn = $oPdo;
// make PDO use the datatype being returned from mysql
$oPdoConn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES, false);
$oPdoConn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
// create a table with a float of lenght 10 and TWO(!) decimalplaces
$oPdoConn->query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `paymentClass`.`floatTestTable3` (`testfield` float(10,2) NOT NULL) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;");
$oPdoConn->query("INSERT INTO `paymentClass`.`floatTestTable3` VALUES (10.99);");
$oPdoFloatTest = $oPdoConn->query("SELECT * FROM `paymentClass`.`floatTestTable3`");
var_dump($oPdoFloatTest->fetchAll());
// result should be float 10.99
// but result is float 10.989999771118
