<?
   $x=9.95;
   $x=(int)(100*$x);
   print $x;
?>

This prints 994 on our system, every time.

This is correct in the sense that it must be expected. Casting a floating point number to an int cuts off all decimal places (digits).

So, if $x is 9.949999 * 100 = 994.999999, casting to an integer will result in 994.
