Bug description:  if () statement not parsing decimals correctly

Description:
------------
Normally, whenever and int 0 is put into an if statement, the statement is
returned as false. Same thing with double 0: it returns false. However,
with a decimal, it's returning true. 0.0000000 is an example that is
returning true. This can lead to possible security issues for those who
rely on the if statement, and are using it on a decimal taken from a
database for example for security checks and such.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

$num='0.000000000';

if ($num) echo 'decimal true';

if ((int)$num) echo 'int true';

if ((double)$num) echo 'double true';

?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect nothing to return true at all.

Actual result:
--------------
'decimal true' is returned, meaning "if (0.000000000)" is returning true.
