Is there a PHP implementation that does not use double-precision floating point? @p{brk}
After doing a little googling I couldn't figure out the answer to that.  I will be MUCH more sympathetic to changing the JSON-RPC api if there is. @p{par}

And mizerydearia:  re: the witcoin issue:  You say: @p{brk}
"I see the transaction as 0.94 However, @s{(link)} retrieves the data as 0.93999999999999994671" @p{par}

So why when you display that value are you truncating it instead of rounding it to 8 decimal places? @p{brk}
For example: @p{brk}

@s{quotedtext}
@s{quotedtext}
 @p{brk}
... or to convert to an integer-number-of-base-unit: @p{brk}

@s{quotedtext}
@s{quotedtext}
 @p{brk}
All of that assume that your php support double-precision floating point, which brings me back to my question:  are there any php implementations that do not?
