But if the webserver's locale is /not/ set to C, then having PHP set the locale to C when the script exits would modify the behavior of the webserver. This is not appropriate. If I as an administrator change the locale Apache uses, I don't want PHP scripts to be able to change it, and I don't want mod_php to unset it, either. -Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
