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://www.floating-point-gui.de/

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Besides, 1.7976931348623157e+308 rounded to two decimal places is still 1.7976931348623157e+308. If you want string output then use a different function - such as number_format() with an empty string as the thousands separator.
