Description:
------------
In French, it is written "0,05" not "0.05".  When in French, converting a string to a float causes values to be truncated.

I have two servers that I tested this on. One is running Gentoo, the other is running Ubuntu.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');

var_dump (  (string)(float) "0.01" ) ;
var_dump (  (float)(string)(float)(string)(float) "0.01" ) ;


?>


Expected result:
----------------
string(4) "0,01"
float(0,01)


Actual result:
--------------
string(4) "0,01"
float(0)

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Enough with the setlocale() and float "bug" reports..
