Description:
------------
Comparison of variables does not give a positive result
2.7 !== 2.7

Test script:
---------------
$q1 = floatval(2.7);
$q2 = floatval(18*0.15); //18*0.15 = 2.7

var_dump($q1);
var_dump($q2);

if($q1 === $q2) {
	echo '2.7 === 2.7 all ok';	
} else {
	echo '2.7 !== 2.7 BUG'; //Why?
}

if($q1 == $q2) {
	echo '2.7 == 2.7 all ok';
}

Expected result:
----------------
float(2.7)
float(2.7)
2.7 === 2.7 all ok

Actual result:
--------------
float(2.7)
float(2.7)
2.7 !== 2.7 BUG

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.

I suspect that is the case, thanks for the reply.
