#41758 [NEW]: SORT_LOCALE_STRING broken for sort() in PHP6

From: hedvall at gmail dot com Operating system: Win2k SP4 PHP version: 6CVS-2007-06-21 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: SORT_LOCALE_STRING broken for sort() in PHP6 Description: ------------ According to the documentation for sort(), you must use i18n_loc_set_default() for sort() with SORT_LOCALE_STRING to work in PHP6. However, i18n_loc_set_default() is an undefined function. The documentation instead refers to locale_set_default(). When setting the locale to "sv_SE" (correct) the function returns false, but when setting it to "sv_PHP" (incorrect) the function returns true which is the wrong behavior. The example from locale_set_default() uses "pt_PT" which can be set, but when sorting the result turns out the wrong way. When using locale_get_default() it returns what was set with locale_set_default() even if that function turned it down by returning false. When later using sort() or asort() (or any other sort) with SORT_LOCALE_STRING the result is the same as a normal sort. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php //Code from the documentation for locale_set_default() // the list of the strings to sort $array = array( 'caramelo', 'cacto', 'caçada' ); // set our locale (Portuguese, in this case) locale_set_default('pt_PT'); // sort using the locale we previously set sort($array, SORT_LOCALE_STRING); print_r($array); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => caçada [1] => cacto [2] => caramelo ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => cacto [1] => caramelo [2] => caçada ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41758&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41758&r=mysqlcfg
