#47107 [Opn->Bgs]: numbers with more than 15 digits are not behaved normally

ID: 47107 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: mucahitkahveci at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows xp sp2 PHP Version: 5.2.8 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://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html Thank you for your interest in PHP. And 32bit issue..etc. etc. No bug.
