hello,

i have got a variable with the value '$rij[2] = "16.60" (it is the price of
something);
but i want this value to be a integer or a double, because i need to know
how many cents the amount is.

i have tried 'settype($variable, "double"); but it is not working;

---------------source code ---------------------------
function bedragInCenten($bedrag){
$nieuw = settype($bedrag, "double");
$nieuw = $nieuw * 100;
return $nieuw;
}

$demo = "16.60";

bedragInCenten($demo);

--------------------------------------------------------

i always get '100' as an outcome.
can someone explain this to me, and show me how to do it wright?

thanks
