Using sprintf with a floating point value for a negative number leaves
a null character in the string, such as:
$num = sprintf("%0.1f", -12.5);
$num will contain the following characters within the actual string
when printing out:
0x45 0x31 0x32 0x2E 0x35 0x00
This does not occur with non-negative numbers.
Try the following for realtime example:
<?php
$num = sprintf("%0.1f", 12.5);
echo "Positive Num: $num<br>\n";
$num = sprintf("%0.1f", -12.5);
echo "Negative Num: $num<br>\n";
?>
This is apparently an old bug that's been reintroduced in version
4.3.2.
