ID: 19374 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: chemolli.francesco@usi.unicredit.it Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sybase (dblib) related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-09-12 New Comment: adding LANG=POSIX export LANG to your webserver start script should do the job please verify in phpinfo() output that it is really used Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-01 06:36:00] iliaa@php.net Yes it can be done via ENV variables, setlocale() is a PHP function which allows you to set locate related enviroment variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-01 02:49:31] chemolli.francesco@usi.unicredit.it Can it be done via env. variables? I'm on a production system, and I'm wary of hand-patching. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-30 19:34:19] iliaa@php.net If you change the locale to english via setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, 'POSIX'); does it fix the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-12 07:24:30] chemolli.francesco@usi.unicredit.it If a table on a MS SQL Server (verified on version 7.0) contains a float field, that float is always returned as 0. This problem has been verified using any version of the freetds library from 0.53 to today's snapshot, and PHP 4.1.1, 4.2.2 and today's snapshot. The problem is NOT in the freetds library, performing the queries from tsql or sqsh returns the correct values. The problem does _NOT_ show when using the ct-library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19374&edit=1
