Salam,
I Saw Differences Between Float Type Castings. My Trying Are Become Below, and This May Be Extensible For Other Numbers and Should Be Researches!
Thanks.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo (float)1199999 . '<br />';
echo (float)1200000 . '<br />';
echo (float)1200001 . '<br />';

echo (float)1300000 . '<br />';

echo (float)1399999 . '<br />';
echo (float)1400000 . '<br />';
echo (float)1400001 . '<br />';

echo '-------------------------<br />';

echo (float)11999999 . '<br />';
echo (float)12000000 . '<br />';
echo (float)12000001 . '<br />';

echo (float)13000000 . '<br />';

echo (float)13999999 . '<br />';
echo (float)14000000 . '<br />';
echo (float)14000001 . '<br />';

echo '-------------------------<br />';

echo (float)119999999 . '<br />';
echo (float)120000000 . '<br />';
echo (float)120000001 . '<br />';

echo (float)130000000 . '<br />';

echo (float)139999999 . '<br />';

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.
