I have these values which I need to save into MySQL (column DECIMAL 10, 2).

-500.00
-500.00
35000.00

When a PHP script save these values into the database and I will take a look at these saved values, there is just:

500.00
500.00
5000.00

How’s it possible?

EDIT:

Saving into DB:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (name, address, salary) VALUES ('$name', '$address', $salary)");

I also tried to add apostrops to the $salary, but the same thing, didn’t help me to save the correct value.

EDIT 2:

    The column definition should be DECIMAL(10, 2) and not followed by UNSIGNED. The missing sign could be caused by an “unsigned”.

    The error on 35000.00 could be an output error (sprintf).

    Most uniformly, you remove the first char at output.

    Maybe you tried to change one ‘.’ in salary by nothing, removing the first character.
