php-doc-en/reference/math/functions/round.xml
George Peter Banyard 1ef2fdddac Added more information about precision behaviour (especially with negative precision).
Added more information to the return value of the function.
Added a specific example demonstrating various precision on a float.
Improved other examples.

specified <parameter>precision</parameter>
(number of digits after the decimal point).

<simpara>
When rounding on exact halves <function>round</function> rounds down on
evens and up on odds. If you want to always force it in one direction
on a .5 (or .05 in your case) add or subtract a tiny fuzz factor. The
reason behind rounding half the values down and the other half up is to
avoid the classical banking problem where if you always rounded down
you would be stealing money from your customers, or if you always
rounded up you would end up over time losing money. By averaging it
out through evens and odds you statistically break even.
