Bug description:  intVal broken for calculated 1999

Description:
------------
This bug is for the function intVal( ), and I also found that typecasting
with (int) produces the same results.

This is a very weird bug I encountered because of a price that is 19.99
and our processor requires it to be sent as 1999.  1999 is the only value
I was able to find that doesn't work correctly, but I'm sure there are
others.

I also checked it on a linux system with an older version of php 4 and got
the same results.  I upgraded our php to 5.1.2 then tried it again after it
failed.  I suspect the bug to be a floating point issue, but I'm not
certain of it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$test1 = intVal(1999);

$amount = 19.99 * 100;
$test2 = intVal($amount);//value is 1998
$test3 = intVal("$amount");//value is 1999

echo $test1 . "<br />\n";
echo $test2 . "<br />\n";
echo $test3 . "<br />\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
1999
1999
1999

Actual result:
--------------
1999
1998
1999
