Description:
------------
I want to outpu my floating number with 13 digits but not in scientific notation - this just doesn't work with certain numbers (see code).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
  ini_set("precision", 14);

  $a = 123456789012;
  $b = 123456789012.0;
  $c = 12345678901203;
  $d = 1234567890123.0;
  
  $e = 1225099800;
  $f = 1225099800000;
  $h = 1225099800001;

  echo('$a: ' . $a. "<BR>");   // ->  123456789012
  echo('$b: ' . $b. "<BR>");   // ->  123456789012
  echo('$c: ' . $c. "<BR>");   // ->  1234567890123
  echo('$d: ' . $d. "<BR>");   // ->  1234567890123
  echo('$e: ' . $e. "<BR>");   // ->  1225099800
  echo('$f: ' . $f. "<BR>");   // ->  1.2250998E+12  !!!
  echo('$h: ' . $h. "<BR>");   // ->  1225099800001  !!!
?>

Expected result:
----------------
123456789012
123456789012
1234567890123
1234567890123
1225099800
1225099800000
1225099800001

Actual result:
--------------
123456789012
123456789012
1234567890123
1234567890123
1225099800
12250998E+12
1225099800001

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

PLEASE, search the bug database before you submit a bug report. This has actually been fixed already, IIRC.

Would be nice if you could tell me which bug report seems to point out this same problem (I didn't find it) and which version of PHP has this fix ! PLEASE
