'A non well formed numeric value encountered' on text string

I've got a bit of code the refuses to run, giving the error; 

[ErrorException]                             
A non well formed numeric value encountered

I've read an awful lot about it, but all of the solutions seem to have dealt with people not using number_format, date or strtotime correctly.

My code can be as simple as the below whilst giving the error;

$plan == 'Event';
if($plan !== 'Event') {
    $cost_of_report = $cost_of_report * 2;
}

The line $cost_of_report = $cost_of_report * 2; works on its own.

I've echoed out gettype($plan)and it is a string.

I'm using this in a Laravel artisan command with in Laravel 4.2 on PHP 5.6.31.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong or what I can do to try and get this working?

Make sure you haven't converted $cost_of_report to number_format() before the calculation.

Try doing the calculations before converting to number_format()

Hope this helps.

I believe the problem here is not with $plan but with $cost_of_report. Make sure it's number
