[FX.php List] Getting floating point numbers through FX

[Erik Andreas Cayré]

Hi all,

I've run into a problem getting non-integer numbers from FMSA8.0v4  
into php.
I have no problems with integers, but when the numbers have  
fractions, I get into trouble...

I'm guessing this has to do with how FX parses the XML output from FMSA.
Does anyone now if all data in $FMResult['data'] is represented as  
strings?

This code now works:
1			foreach ($return_data['data'] as $key => $fmrecord)
2			{
3				if ($fmrecord['status'] == "paid")
4				{
5					$_SESSION['turnover'] += $fmrecord['price'];
6					$_SESSION['balance'] += $fmrecord['price'] - strtr($fmrecord 
['avance'], ",", ".");
7				} else {
8					$_SESSION['canceledCount']++;
9				}
10			}

because on line 6 I added strtr() to transform comma into decimal point

This shouldn't be necessary.
Is there a way to set a preference in FX or PHP affecting the type  
change from string to number?

Any related comments?
