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.

(int) casts are truncating (which means "round down" in this case). Due to limited floating point precision 264.40 * 100 is in reality something like 26439.999999999, which is then rounded down to 26439. You may try setting the "precision" ini setting to a higher value in order to see this.
