Description:
------------
<?php
$price = 10.05;
$f_price = $price * 100;
$int_price = floor($f_price); 
var_dump($f_price==$int_price);
?>

The codes below should print 
bool(true)
.But in fact, it prints 
bool(false)
.
The same results appear when $price=10.03 or 10.04.
However, when $price=10.06, it prints
bool(true)
.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$price = 10.05;
$f_price = $price * 100;
$int_price = floor($f_price); 
var_dump($f_price==$int_price);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

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:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
