Description:
------------
round number with round() function give strange result:
9.815,609.815,4690.815,14609.815,6.735,56.735,1056.735,11056.735
produce
9.82
609.82
4609.81
14609.82
6.74
56.74
1056.73
11056.74

Why it's become 81 or 73 instead of 82 or 74

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
echo (round("9.815", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("609.815", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("4609.815", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("14609.815", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("6.735", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("56.735", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("1056.735", 2)."<BR>");
echo (round("11056.735", 2)."<BR>");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
9.82
609.82
4609.82
14609.82
6.74
56.74
1056.74
11056.74

Actual result:
--------------
9.82
609.82
4609.81
14609.82
6.74
56.74
1056.73
11056.74

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is read this:
http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
 
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
