That needs to go into the manual "number in e-notation", which I
understand, or even better as an additional flag "allow_e-notation". 

It's the last error I would have expected and is very misleading AFAIK.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

3e0 is a number in e-notation, which is of course a numerical string

Description:

With some server side validation I inadvertenly entered "3e0" into the
textbox, it validated to my suprise. Would have expected this to throw
a false

Reproduce code:
---
echo is_numeric('3e00')? 'true': 'false';

Expected result:

false;
In fact anything without 0-9 and a . I would expect a false !
