#46267 [NEW]: mismatch between sscanf and localeconv

From: oswald at jaskolla dot net Operating system: Windows XP, Linux PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: mismatch between sscanf and localeconv Description: ------------ sscanf() seems not to be locale-aware when interpreting '%f', even though the documentation says it is. localeconv() says that after my call to setlocale(), the comma is interpreted as decimal separator. Still everything after the comma is omitted. Tested environments: Windows XP, PHP 5.2.5, Apache 2.2.8 (mpm_winnt) Linux 2.6.9, PHP 5.2.6RC1, Apache 2.2.8 (prefork) Reproduce code: --------------- setlocale(LC_ALL, array('de_DE.utf-8', 'german')); $value = sscanf('3,14159265', '%f'); echo '<div>parsed: &pi; &asymp;', $value[0], '</div>'; echo '<div>formatted: &pi; &asymp;'; printf('%f', 3.14159265); echo '</div>'; Expected result: ---------------- parsed: &#960; &#8776;3.14159265 formatted: &#960; &#8776;3,14159265 Actual result: -------------- parsed: &#960; &#8776;3 formatted: &#960; &#8776;3,14159265 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46267&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46267&r=mysqlcfg
