Hi,
the following script

<?php 
$x=sprintf("%10.5e", 1.1); 
echo "$x"; 
?>

produces 1.1000e+
whereas
<?php 
$x=sprintf("%10.5e", 0.11); 
echo "$x"; 
?>
returns the correct result 1.1000e-1
I would expect that output for the first example should be something like 
1.1000e+0 or 1.1000e0

Regards
Andreas Maul
