Since 1.534... is smaller than 1.535, round($a,2) will correctly round
it down to 1.53. I wouldn't know what should be wrong with that.

Check the rounding functions. There are also functions that always round
up or down, namely ceil() and floor(). Maybe you were looking for ceil()
instead of round()?
