Description:
------------
intval is not returning the correct value for '995'

echo number_format('9.95'*100,0,'',''); // output 995
echo intval('9.95'*100); // output 994

Sorry but the most up to date server at my disposition is version 5.2.5

POSSIBLY RELATED REFUSED BUGS...

Tested it with all values from previously rejected or ignored similar bug submissions (code and execution here) :

P.S.: intval('9.95'*100) == intval(9.95*100) == 994

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

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.

This bug still exists in PHP 7.1.14.

$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > echo phpversion();
7.1.14
php > echo intval(9.95 * 100);
994

it is not a bug and hence it can't be fixed - read the comment before yours
