#26643 [Opn->Bgs]: numeric converted to float

ID: 26643 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: michael dot frank at bmg dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related Operating System: RedHat Linux PHP Version: 4.3.4 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. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The two numbers 1150000000002401 and 1.1500000000024E+15 are the exact same number on your machine.
