Description:
------------
PHP converts some floats to integers incorrectly (I only know of one example).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo strval(2169.99 * 100), "\n";
echo intval(2169.99 * 100), "\n"; // converts incorrectly


Expected result:
----------------
216999
216999


Actual result:
--------------
216999
216998

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.
