<?

  echo 120-119.2."\n";
  echo 120-119.3."\n";
  echo 120-119.4."\n";
  echo 120-119.5."\n";
  echo 120-119.6."\n";
  echo 120-119.7."\n";
  echo 120-119.8."\n";
  echo 120-119.9."\n";
?>
or with variables...results was:

0.90000000000001
0.8
0.7

0.5
0.40000000000001

Please don't ask support questions in the bug database.
Computers can only approximate floating point numbers to a certain level of precision.  Simply set the precision you want.  Try adding this line before your echo lines:
ini_set('precision',4);
