Description:
------------
as doc said:
precision:
   The number of significant digits displayed in floating point numbers.

so precision suppose to only affect the display format of a float;

but the fact is:

$php -dprecision=14 -r 'echo round(1.22, 2);'
1.22

php -dprecision=20 -r 'echo round(1.22, 2);'
1.2199999999999999734

the eg(precision) affected the round result.

Test script:
---------------
$php -dprecision=14 -r 'echo round(1.22, 2);'


php -dprecision=20 -r 'echo round(1.22, 2);'


Expected result:
----------------
1.22
1.22

Actual result:
--------------
1.22
1.2199999999999999734

$ php -dprecision=20 -r 'echo 1.22;'

outputs: 1.2199999999999999734


I think it's only the floating point imprecision and not round()-specific.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a

appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
