and also :

$e = 0x7C.'km'; // is ok '124km'
$e = 124.'km'; // parse error

why do you process decimal integers in different way
than hexadecimal integers ? If it is only to detect
decimal float then you should take care to the fact that
'.' is not only a decimal separator but also a concatenation
operator !!!

maybe you do not consider it as a bug but it is quite
annoying when contatenating arguments, I personnaly
think that this is a lack of the parser/compiler to
do not detect that the '.' is not a part of the '2'
but it is an operator :

putting a '.' after the 2 doesn't change it's display.
$e = 2.3.'km'; // the dot after 2 followed by a digit
               // indicate a float
'2.3km'

$e = 2..'km'; // is ok the the dot after 2 is useless
'2km'

$e = 2.'km'; // produce a parse error
$e = 2 .'km'; // is ok
'2km'

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

concatenation hazard ... on :

$a = 2;
echo 'c='.$a*2 .' ok';

it produce a good result : "c=4 ok"

but :

$a = 2;
echo 'c='.$a*2.' ok';

produce a parse error :
unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING ...

also the following works :
echo 'c='.$a*2..' ok';

so it should be a bug when trying to see
"2." as a float when it is an integer followed by a concatenation
operator (that's the problem when using
operators that are also separators...)
