Description:
------------
Using PHP Version 4.3.11 on Windows xp (my development machine).

I believe this behavior of floor function is a bug. The number 7560 passed to it is an integer and would not be changed by floor.

I am using 100 times number because PHP has no function like 'truncate'. I want 2 decimals and there is no way to do it with regular functions.

Its like 7560 has some special properties because this error does not happens with a lot of other numbers.

Thank you.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo (75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7560 - OK
echo intval(75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7559 - ?
echo (int)(75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7559 - ?
echo floor(75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7559 - ?
echo ceil(75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7560 - OK
echo round(75.6 * 100).'<br>'; // prints 7560 - OK



Expected result:
----------------
7560
7560
7560
7560
7560
7560

Actual result:
--------------
7560
7559
7559
7559
7560
7560

$d = 75.6 * 100;
$d = (string)$d;
echo floor($d).'<br>'; // prints 7560, wich is expected... how embarassing.

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.
