[Bug 251625] [NEW] PHP5-CLI doesn't print floats properly

[Jim]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

PHP5 CLI isn't printing decimals properly.

Example:

<?
$n = array(0,1e-8, 1e-7, 1e-6,1e-5,1e-4,1e-3,1e-2,1e-1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5);

for($i = 0; $i < count($n); $i++){
  print $n[$i]."\n";
}

?>

output:
0
1.0E-8
:.0E-8
:.0E-7
1.0E-5
0.0001
0.001
0.01
0.1
0.2
0.3
0.4
0.5


Some of the numbers aren't printed properly, or with a : where a digit should be...
