Ok... It's Friday and maybe my brain is dead, but I'm having a weird
problem with some basic math.

Here's a little snippet of the code I'm working with:

---------------------------
echo "<p>Current:$currentAmount:".gettype($currentAmount)." -
Paid:$paidAmount:".gettype($paidAmount)."</p>";

$currentAmount = $currentAmount-$paidAmount;
echo "<p>Final Current: $currentAmount";
-----------------

Straightforward... Yeah?

Here's a sample of the output:
Current:97.6:double - Paid:97.6:double
Final Current: 1.42108547152E-014

Now if both $currentAmount and $paidAmount are doubles, subtracting them
should yield a zero, shouldn't it?
