RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: [fw-general] Re: [PHP-DEV] ZF 0.8.0 Unit Tests behaving different on PHP 5.2.1 and PHP 5.2.2-dev

It is bad practice to use echo $float or var_dump($float) because they depends on php.ini settings. You should use printf() of number_format() for deterministic result. The float formatting algorithms were changed because of licensing issues and new ones are not 100% compatible with previous ones. Thanks.
