Description:
------------
Some float values after multiplication by 100 (for elemination of decimal places) get rounded down by one after running intval() on the result.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// prior calculation:
echo intval(70.74 * 100);

// testing for all numbers between 0 and 10 that do not hold the same value after type change
for ($j = 0.00; $j < 10.0; $j = $j + 0.01) {
	$i = ($j);
	if (strval(intval($i * 100)) != strval(($i * 100))) {
		echo $i . ': ' . intval($i*100) . ' | ' . ($i * 100) . '<br />';
	}
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expected value after evaluation: 7047

Actual result:
--------------
Actual value after evaluation: 7073

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:
