Still, I am sure this is a bug. No software I use (Excel, Shopping
program) produces such results, like PHP
echo '<br>'.round(0.155*1, 2); >> gives 0,16
echo '<br>'.round(8.155*1, 2); >> gives 8,15

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly
printing it without any mathematical operations.
If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
Round function works with errors.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo '<br>'.round(8.055, 2);
echo '<br>'.round(8.155, 2);
echo '<br>'.round(8.255, 2);
Expected result:
----------------
echo '<br>'.round(8.055, 2); //gives 8.06
echo '<br>'.round(8.155, 2); //gives 8.16
echo '<br>'.round(8.255, 2); //gives 8.26
Actual result:
--------------
echo '<br>'.round(8.055, 2); //gives 8.06
echo '<br>'.round(8.155, 2); //gives 8.15 !!!
echo '<br>'.round(8.255, 2); //gives 8.26
