I got results as float(>.J), but only for first operation. This issue can persists to next script process(first contains date_diff function, next contains operation with float variable) PHP ver 5.3.1 Test script: --------------- $a = 141.4; var_dump($a); $datetime1 = new DateTime('2009-10-11'); $datetime2 = new DateTime('2009-10-13'); $datetime1->diff($datetime2); var_dump($a); var_dump($a); Expected result: ---------------- float(141.4) float(141.4) float(141.4) Actual result: -------------- float(141.4) float(>.J) float(141.4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51755&edit=1
