Question

I have some PHP code in a project I’m working on that uses PHP’s round function. On my localhost, I don’t include any quotes around my mode argument, stating it as just PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN. However, when pushing to my server I get the error message:

Use of undefined constant PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN - assumed 'PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN'
Warning (2): Wrong parameter count for round() [APP/views/helpers/time_left.php, line 14]

Now, when I add the single quotes to the mode argument, the first error goes away, however the “wrong parameter count” remains. I’m calling the function as follows:

$days = round(($difference/$day), 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN);

Thanks for any and all help!

Answer 1

The rounding mode was added in PHP 5.3. Make sure you’re running at least that version.

You can see which version you’re running by placing the following in a PHP file:

var_dump(phpversion());
