Am I wrong (I hope), but I don't find on PHP a fixed-point datatype !?

Datatype like DECIMAL/NUMERIC from MySQL will be nice for doing operations on money without precision loss.

Any ideas ?

You are not wrong ... php only has float. – Orangepill Jul 23 '13 at 07:04
If you're worried about precision loss, I'd recommend just using an integer value - keep track of the values in cents or tenths of a cent, instead of dollars. – jcsanyi Jul 23 '13 at 07:11
