You appear to be working with monetary values from the names in your original
post. You shouldn't use floating point numbers for money; use integers,
multiplied up to the minor currency. So £1.50 = 150.
This way the floating point inaccuracies (which are not specific to Windows or
PHP, they are fundamental to the way x86 and many other processors handle
floating point numbers) don't become an issue, because you're always dealing
with exact integer calculations.
