Comment (by dd32):

 For anyone not aware of why; PHP when running in a locale-specific
 environment (such as french) will cause some PHP functions to return
 localised values, in the case of floatval(), it'll return '3,2' rather
 than 3.2 as PHP uses the locale-specific decimal/thousands markers.
 (float)'3.14' will also be 3,14, same as printf, same as every other
 function you can think of. `echo intval(10234)` can also output as
 '10,234' in certain locales.

 An example of this in action: (Works on most Linux installs)
 {{{
 setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
 var_dump( floatval( '3.2') ); //3,2
 echo (float)'2' * (float)'1.1'; //2.2 - calculations work as expected as
 PHP handles it internally, it's purely output which is affected
 }}}
