Bug #54538 [NEW]: setlocale() interferes with NumberFormatter class

From: Operating system: OS X PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:setlocale() interferes with NumberFormatter class Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/class.numberformatter --- When I have my locale set to 'en' with setlocale(), the NumberFormatter class works just fine. If I set the locale to, for example, 'fr_FR', the NumberFormatter class fails, giving a 'NaN' result. This is irrespective of the fact that the setlocale() function has clearly worked, as evidenced by gettext() working just fine. I can't see any reason why the setlocale function should have anything to do with the operation of NumberFormatter: this isn't documented, and I'm explicitly passing the locale I want to use in the parameter. Using 5.3.5 (the most recent available through MacPorts) Test script: --------------- setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en'); $nf = new NumberFormatter('de_DE',NumberFormatter::DECIMAL); print $nf->format(123456.789); // Outputs the correct answer 123.456,789 print "<br/>\n"; setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); $nf = new NumberFormatter('de_DE',NumberFormatter::DECIMAL); print $nf->format(123456.789); // Outputs NaN Expected result: ---------------- 123456.789<br/> 123456.789 Actual result: -------------- 123456.789<br/> NaN -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54538&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54538&r=mysqlcfg
