PHP Division results automatically rounded up number

Question

i have a simple division

$order = 14 / 10;   // 1
$order = 15 / 10;   // 2

result automatically convert into round figure

how can i get result like

$order = 14 / 10;   // 1.4
$order = 15 / 10;   // 1.5

here my actual code $quantity

if (($quantity > 0.99) && ($pro_Type== "BHRF")) {

    $pro_Id   = $pro_Id -10;
    $quantity = $quantity/10;

    for ($i=1; $i <11; $i++) { 

       $pro_Id = $pro_Id +10;

      $insert0 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO myorders1 (Product_Id,Quantity,Product_Type,Store_Id,Order_Date,Order_Time) 
                    VALUES ('$pro_Id','$quantity','$pro_Type','$store_Id','$o_Date','$o_Time')", $connection);
                }
            }

Can you put more code ? You use echo to show $order or other method ? no (int) cast ? — Benjamin Poignant, Dec 10 '14 at 16:39
Errr, for me: `$order = 14 / 10; echo $order; //1.4` Did I missed something? — vaso123, Dec 10 '14 at 16:40

Unless i'm drunk; 14/10 can't be 1 without any rounding involved

echo  14 / 10;    // 1.4 as expected

Most probably your database field, Quantity, is integer and doesnt store the fraction and you assume the real number came from division.

yes my bad , it means integer does not store number with decimal ? – Rakesh Dec 10 '14 at 17:11
Yes integers are real numbers. They don't store decimal values. For that you can have , among others, a DECIMAL type field. – Hanky Panky Dec 10 '14 at 17:12
