New Comment:
I got bitten by this one too:
$rounded = floor(14700002 / 1000) * 1000;
in PHP 5.1.6, that yields: 14700000
in PHP 5.2.5, that yields: 1.47E+7
This is arguably acceptable behavior, but if this is the way it is, it
should be a conscious decision, and documented.

I have something that is closer to a solution
If you replace the /zend/zend_objects.c file with the php-5.2.1 version
before compiling php it fixes it.
I have tested on php 5.2.2 and php5.2.5 (I assume versions in between
will work) and haven't noticed any ill effects but I am only configuring
with the following
./configure --disable-all --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--prefix=/usr/local
So I don't know if any other modules will break (though I will test
later).
Since it's in the Zend folder should I report it to zend?

Theo's work around does indeed work.
sprintf() or number_format() force the number to be displayed in an
integer format.
Thanks Theo!

I am also experiencing this issue.
As a work around you can use sprintf or number_format to force it to
display correctly.
not by any means a fix, but got me out of a jam.

Any idea when this might get fixed, since php5.2.5 has been released
cpanel don't support 5.2.1 anymore hence it's not as easy to install
5.2.1 anymore and I'm stuck with 4.4.7 which won't be supported after
December causing even more problems.

Yes, I haven't upgraded to the latest PHP 5.2.x for the same reasons as
it's causing similar issues for me with dollar amount calculations (e.g.
bug 42871). This change seems to have started in recent 5.2.x releases,
but I don't recall it being on any changelog or announcement since it is
causing backwards-compatibility issues with earlier PHP releases.
