A better way to check for a certain number of decimal places is to use :

$num_dec_places = 2;
number_format($value,$num_dec_places);

To check a float only should contain certain number of decimal places, I have used this simple function below

<?
function is_deccount($number,$decimal=2){
  
$m_factor=pow(10,$decimal);
   if((int)(
$number*$m_factor)==$number*$m_factor)
       return
true;
   else
       return
false;
 }   
?>
