From: ben at ajmadison dot com Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: is_numeric function not working as per "common sense" Description: ------------ is_numeric("1343.32") returns true, but is_numeric("1,343.32") returns false. Since the comma is used just for visual representation, the number represented is still numeric and is_numeric function should return true.
