Description:
------------
When trying to cast a numeric string value in the exponential notation to int, the 
result doesn't match with the initial value. While the casting to float from 
string works well. Also casting to int from the same value stored in a float 
variable workes well.
The function intval() has the same problem.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

echo 1E2 . "<br />";
echo (float)1E2 . "<br />";
echo (int)1E2 . "<br />";
echo intval(1E2) . "<br />";
echo (float)"1E2" . "<br />";
echo (int)"1E2" . "<br />";//problem
echo intval("1E2") . "<br />";//problem

?>

Expected result:
----------------
100
100
100
100
100
100
100

Actual result:
--------------
100
100
100
100
100
1

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

the cast from string to int cuts the number of on the first non-digit (essentially using the system's atoi() function) this is expected behavior.
