Answer 1

I suggest the use BCMath for more accuracy when you are calculating with decimal numbers. That makes sure that you actually get the results you want.

To print what you want, you should specify the precision and use %.9f, since it defaults to displaying 6 decimal numbers. That makes it something like this (just like bsdnoobz already said):

sprintf('%.9f',$ret);
