Description:
------------
When using intval, float conversion is off for some very specific numbers. Please see my Test script below.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

echo intval(160.70 * 100) . "\n"; // Expected 16070, got 16069
echo intval(150.70 * 100) . "\n"; // Expected 15070, got 15069
echo intval(140.70 * 100) . "\n"; // Expected 14070, got 14069
echo intval(130.70 * 100) . "\n"; // Expected 13070, got 13069
echo intval(120.70 * 100) . "\n"; // Strangely, this gives the correct value of 12070
echo intval(160.50 * 100) . "\n"; // This also gives the correct value of 16050
echo intval(160.60 * 100) . "\n"; // This also gives the correct value of 16060
echo intval(170.70 * 100) . "\n"; // This also gives the correct value of 17070
echo intval(strval(160.70 * 100)); // This is the workaround that I am doing for now


Expected result:
----------------
16070
15070
14070
13070
12070
16050
16060
17070
16070

Actual result:
--------------
16069
15069
14069
13069
12070
16050
16060
17070
16070

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.
