$stmt = ociparse($conn2, $sql);
ociexecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
while (ocifetch($stmt)) {
	echo $result = ociresult($stmt, "FLOATP")."\n\n";
 }
 echo $result + 2;

It has nothing to do with OCI8.
<?php
$a = "-,6";
var_dump((float)$a);
var_dump($a+2);
?>
Personally I think we should not support floats written in such a braindead style.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected.
