Test script:
---------------
$ceva=array(

	array('amount'=>9.88),
	array('amount'=>9.87),
	array('amount'=>9.86),
	array('amount'=>9.85),
	array('amount'=>9.84),
	array('amount'=>9.83),

function print_a($array) {
	echo "<pre>";
	print_r($array);
	echo "</pre>";
}

print_a($ceva);


$usable=array();

foreach($ceva as $b){
	$x=$b['amount']*100;
	$usable[$x]=$b['amount'];
	var_dump($usable[$x]);
}

var_dump($usable);

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:
http://www.floating-point-gui.de/

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
