#28746 [Com]: money_format broke in php 4.3.6

ID: 28746 Comment by: brandon at axonmedia dot ca Reported By: isp at derdev dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: I too have the same problem with money_format() with PHP 4.3.10 It only formats the input string half of the time for me though. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-13 22:53:33] steve at jigstop dot com I have this same issue on PHP 4.3.10 on IIS 5.0 Documentation stats this works on all PHP > 4.3.0 yet it apparently does not. It looks like this funtion may require other software installed on the server besides PHP. Why can't this just be included in PHP like ever other PHP function I have used? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-21 01:00:04] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

If it does not work this has likely to do with your libc then PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-11 21:48:32] isp at derdev dot com Description: ------------ The combination of setlocale and money_format worked for me in php 4.3.4. Upgrading to php 4.3.6 and changing servers seems to have broken setlocale and/or money_format. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $item="987654.321"; setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US'); print money_format('%.2n',$item); # prints 987654.321 ?> Expected result: ---------------- $987,654.32 Actual result: -------------- 987654.32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28746&edit=1
