Description:
------------
I saw this in a manual note. I don't know if it's 
really a problem, but others have agreed it's a bug, 
so...

Only when using the floats 0.1 and 0.7 and multiplying 
by a number large enough to bring the product of the 
two floats' sums above 1 does a strange evaluation 
become apparent.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo (int)((0.1 + 0.7) * 10);
echo intval((0.1 + 0.7) * 10);
echo (int)((0.1 + 0.7) * 20);
echo (int)((0.1 + 0.8) * 20);
echo (int)((0.1 + 0.8) * 10);

Expected result:
----------------
8
8
16
18
9

Actual result:
--------------
7
7
15
18
9

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.
 
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
