[PHP] Peculiar number_format() behaviour

Here's the code: "); $z = $a + ($a * $b); echo("z: " . $a . " + ( " . $a . " * " . $b . ") = $z"); echo("number format(y)=".number_format($y, 2).""); echo("number format(z)=".number_format($z, 2).""); ?> Here's the output: y: 676.6 * (1 + 0.175) = 795.005 z: 676.6 + ( 676.6 * 0.175) = 795.005
