Alright I made a scoreboard for my site i play on (gaming community) and well in script I have it where if a user scores a ai kill its suppose to give the .5 points.. but for some reason its rounding it to 1 point..

I have the database field type as Decimal but for some reason its not wanting to go into the database as decimal and rounds it up can someone help me please here is what i have

PHP Code:

$aikillpts = ($_POST['aikill'] * .5); 


This code seems to work. Can you explain what $_POST[aikill] would contain? Is this the number of AI's that have been killed?

Try initializing your variable and casting.

PHP Code:

 $aikillpts = 0.00; //specify significant digits
 $aikillpts = (float)($_POST['aikill'] * .5);
