Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php A float(1.0) is stored as a float(1) (it's the same), so var_export(1.0) outputs 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-27 09:41:30] utkarsh dot parekh at yahoo dot in If you try this var_export(2.1245) returns "2.1245". It is right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-26 15:56:35] david at grudl dot com Description: ------------ var_export(1.0) returns "1" instead of "1.0" in all PHP versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66179&edit=1
