ID: 41909 User updated by: stingbat at stingbat dot dk Reported By: stingbat at stingbat dot dk Status: Closed Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Ah I see, that's okay :) Thanks for the fix anyway. // over and out ;-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-05 20:52:37] derick@php.net 5.2.1 to 5.2.3 only, I didn't file a bug for this, but I will write this one in the NEWS file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-05 20:31:05] stingbat at stingbat dot dk Has it just been fixed? Wasn't able to find any bug related to this issue, but could just see that there was a problem with PHP 5.2.3 (on multiple both Windows 2000 and XP). Seems like it is fixed in the CVS snapshot, as far as I can see. Thanks for the quick reply :) Do you know in how many version of PHP5, the issue has existed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-05 17:33:48] derick@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows (zip): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip For Windows (installer): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi I already fixed this I think... please try the snapshot. But are you really on Windows? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-05 17:11:05] stingbat at stingbat dot dk Description: ------------ Seems like there has been a change to the var_export-function, when comparing PHP4 and PHP5, as stated below: PHP4 ---- 314 : case IS_DOUBLE: 315 8 : php_printf("%.*G", (int) EG(precision), Z_DVAL_PP(struc)); > from: http://gcov.php.net/PHP_4_4/lcov_html/ext/standard/var.c.gcov.php PHP5 ---- 407 : case IS_DOUBLE: 408 42 : php_printf("%.*H", (int) EG(precision), Z_DVAL_PP(struc)); > from: http://gcov.php.net/PHP_5_2/lcov_html/ext/standard/var.c.gcov.php Of some reason, the output don't give the same. I don't know if it's PHP4 that has always had this problem, or if it's a new problem only existing in PHP5. However, it gives difficulties, if trying to compare the results or want to output the results float-values to either JavaScript or Database. And especially when trying to create scripts that should work on both PHP-versions (4.x+5.x). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $test_value = 1.50; setlocale(LC_ALL, 'da_DK.iso-8859-1', 'da_DK', 'danish', 'da'); echo 'DK: ' . var_export($test_value, TRUE) . "\n"; setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en'); echo 'EN: ' . var_export($test_value, TRUE) . "\n"; echo "\n" . PHP_VERSION; ?> Expected result: ---------------- DK: 1.5 EN: 1.5 Actual result: -------------- DK: 1,5 EN: 1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41909&edit=1
