ID: 54730 Updated by: ras...@php.net Reported by: dancho at hahpss dot com Summary: comparison float -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Math related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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. Try adding ini_set('precision',32); to the top of your test script and it should be clear why these are not equal.
