Bug description:  php.ini setting for "precision" ignored. value is always 6 

Description:
------------
The php.ini setting of "precision" seems to be ignored and is always 6. I
makes no difference when you override it with ini_set() or directly in
php.ini.

tested on 5.1.6, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 on several Linux Servers and 2 Windows
PCs. Only in 5.1.6 change of "precision" was not ignored.

Example in php.ini
; The number of significant digits displayed in floating point numbers.
precision    =  12

Same as this report but bug has nothing to do with round()
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42484

Reproduce code:
---------------
ini_set('precision','6');
$big_int = (float)1200000;
print "precision6: $big_int \n\n";

ini_set('precision','12');
$big_int = (float)1200000;
print "precision12: $big_int";



Expected result:
----------------
precision6: 1.2E+006

precision12: 1200000

Actual result:
--------------
precision6: 1.2E+006

precision12: 1.2E+006
