It’s not ok that echo 0.000001; produces 1.0E-6 and that casting it to string doesn’t help but putting quotes around it does.

Huhwhat? That's exactly the behaviour I would expect from a sane language.

If you don't like PHP, don't use it. If you're fine with PHP, but don't like parts of it, don't use the parts of it that you don't like.

I like the ease of deployment, but I hate the standard library and the language itself. Help?

That's a stupid argument. Is nobody allowed to criticize? To simply proclaim 'if you don't like it don't use it' and not provide any counter points at all really doesn't help.

Please stop posting articles about this.

This was a highly disappointing article, not enough vented spleen. I'd expect more venom and ear burning quotes from Rasmus Lerdorf.
