Problem with float whole numbers in type conversion.

Test script:
---------------
// This outputs: float(920)
var_dump('9.2' * 100);

// This outputs: int(919)
var_dump(intval('9.2' * 100));

// This outputs: int(920)
var_dump(intval(strval('9.2' * 100)));

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.
