Description:
------------
When I try to round a number like X.YZ5 with precision 2, I get X.YZ, but Z number should be incremented to Z+1

Reproduce code:
---------------
$a=round(2.225,2);

Expected result:
----------------
$a=2.23

Actual result:
--------------
$a=2.22

Sorry, I have a better example:

echo (4.3*((100-25)/100));
    ----> result: 3.225

echo round(4.3*((100-25)/100),2);
    ----> result: 3.22

echo round(3.225,2);
    ----> result: 3.23

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.
