The numbers are quite useful.

10.0012034e+60 is more readable than
1000120340000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I hope I got the amount of zeros right :)

If you don't know what this is, google for exponential number
notation or scientific notation.

And yes, NaN means "not a number".  I would be very surprised
if the manuals don't talk about unknown data, unknowns, NaN.

For questions on php please see the php manual, any php tutorial
and the php website.
