Comparison of float values does not always work.

./configure  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-xml --with-apache=../../apache/apache_1.3.26/

Test code follows:

<?php

$a = 332.06;
$b = 45.11 + 134.38 + 85.35 + 67.22;

echo "output\n";

var_dump($a);
var_dump($b);

print("Total = $a\n");
print("Production = $b\n");


if($a != $b)
{
    print("Totals do not Match!\n");
}
else {
    print("Totals are in Balance\n");
}

if($a !== $b)
{
    print("Totals do not Match!\n");
}
else {
    print("Totals are in Balance\n");
}

if($a <> $b)
{
    print("Totals do not Match!\n");
}
else {
    print("Totals are in Balance\n");
}

if($a > $b)
{
    print("a is greater!\n");
}
else {
    print("b is greater!\n");
}

settype($a,"string");
settype($b,"string");

if ($a != $b)
  echo  "String compare failed!\n\n";


settype($a,"float");
settype($b,"float");

if ($a != $b)
  echo  "recast to float compare failed!\n\n";

echo "end output\n";
?>

-----------------------------
output
float(332.06)
float(332.06)
Total = 332.06
Production = 332.06
Totals do not Match!
Totals do not Match!
Totals do not Match!
b is greater!
end output
------------------------------

Summary:
float compare fails (!=)
float compare fails (<>)
float compare fails (!==)
"b" is somehow greater than "a"
cast to string, compare okay.
recast to float, compare okay.
