Try this and you'll see why..
And then read this to know why that happens:

$x = 0.0;
$y = 0.7;
do {
if ($x == $y) {
PRINT "found<br>";
} else {
PRINT "not found<br>";
}
$x += 0.1;
} while($x <= 1.0);
When $y is 0.0 to 0.7 everything works fine and it will find the
match...if you make $y = 0.8 or higher it will fail to find the match.
I'm using the basic install of 4.3.1 (it happens in older versions as
well)
