#31366 [NEW]: Weird bug with setlocale and serialize

From: info at smartlogic dot nl Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.10 PHP Bug Type: Math related Bug description: Weird bug with setlocale and serialize Description: ------------ After setting the setlocale the decimal point disappears. This is the same bug as "Bug #14235: serialize and setlocale: inconsistent behavior" but it still appears in PHP 4.3.10 while the possible solution indicates: "This bug has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php this was fixed in 4.1.x with the switch to a non-sprintf-based serialize implementation." Reproduce code: --------------- #code without setlocale echo "* WITHOUT setlocale\n\n"; bug_test(); #code with setlocale echo "* WITH setlocale\n\n"; setlocale (LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); bug_test(); function bug_test() { $bill_lines[0]["price"]=42.02; echo "Original Input: ".$bill_lines[0]["price"]."\n\nArray:\n\n"; print_r(array_values($bill_lines)); $encoded=serialize($bill_lines); echo "\n\nSerialized array: $encoded \n\n"; $decoded=unserialize($encoded); echo "Ouput after unserialize: ".$decoded[0]["price"]."\n\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- The output after the setlocale and the unserialize is 42 instead of 42,02 or 42.02 Actual result: -------------- * WITHOUT setlocal Original Input: 42.02 Array: Array ( [0] => Array ( [price] => 42.02 ) ) Serialized array: a:1:{i:0;a:1:{s:5:"price";d:42.02000000000000312638803734444081783294677734375;}} Ouput after unserialize: 42.02 * WITH setlocale Original Input: 42,02 Array: Array ( [0] => Array ( [price] => 42,02 ) ) Serialized array: a:1:{i:0;a:1:{s:5:"price";d:42.02000000000000312638803734444081783294677734375;}} Ouput after unserialize: 42 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31366&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31366&r=mysqlcfg
