Don't doubt :) search for the reason! For example at:
http://lv.php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php
where it is written that:

 Possibles values for the returned string are:
...
* "double" (for historical reasons "double" is returned in case of a
float, and not simply "float")
...
So that is the reason, whe gettype returns a different type!
Enjoy,
