Bug #46408 [Opn]: Locale number format settings can cause pg_query_params to break with numerics

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46408&edit=1 ID: 46408 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: alec at smecher dot bc dot ca Summary: Locale number format settings can cause pg_query_params to break with numerics Status: Open Type: Bug Package: PostgreSQL related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I guess setting locale to database locale resolve this issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-14 12:13:40] lewis at peppermind dot de This issue also appears with pg_execute(), when passing float values to the bind array, with a locale that uses comma as decimal separator (such as de_DE and most other european locales). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-26 18:59:12] jerico dot dev at gmail dot com @jani: When I pass in a double, I expect pg_query_params() to prepare it in a way that can be understood by the database independent of my locale settings. AFAIK the implementation of pg_query_params() is also inconsistent with that of the mysql driver which correctly accepts double typed parameters independent of locale. I guess you were not entirely serious when you proposed that one should switch the locale before using pg_query_params(), were you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-21 13:09:19] jani@php.net I guess it's an issue always if extension does 'convert_to_string()'. Easily avoided in code: Only do setlocale() prior to outputting stuff. And then restore the locale right after output. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-18 23:16:44] alec at smecher dot bc dot ca Thanks, lsmith and RhodiumToad. FYI, this bug also exists in PDO (I can post reproduce code if it's helpful). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-18 22:59:44] lsmith@php.net <RhodiumToad> lsmith: in a parameterized query it's always wrong to use locale-specific delimiters RhodiumToad is also known as Andrew Gierth and is a highly respected expert on #postgresql on freenode. As such I will reopen the bug .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
