ID: 33695 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Languages/Translation Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If the windows locale information defines the non breaking character as the thousands_sep value - then we can't do anything about this. This is not a PHP bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-14 11:50:56] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Description: ------------ I am using the following code: $locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'FRA'); $data = localeconv(); $thousands_sep = $data['thousands_sep']; $ascii = ord($thousands_sep); The value in $ascii is 160 (?) when it should be 32 (space). When I use this with number_format() the result is written to an XML file then transformed into HTML using XSL. The XSL transformation process fails because it is not valid UTF-8. Reproduce code: --------------- $locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'FRA'); $data = localeconv(); $thousands_sep = $data['thousands_sep']; $ascii = ord($thousands_sep); Expected result: ---------------- ord($thousands_sep) should be 32 (space), not 160 Actual result: -------------- ord($thousands_sep) is 160 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33695&edit=1
