PHP 4.0 Bug #4912: floating number truncated

From: oliviers@mnet.fr Operating system: Windows 2000 french PHP version: 4.0.0 Release PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: floating number truncated Well, i got a little problem with php4 final under windows (nt4 and 2000) french with french local properties. Let's see an example! eg: $valueFranc = 120; $valueEuro = $valueFranc / 6.55957; $valueEuro equals 20 (120 / 6 in fact) the value of Euro was truncated because in France, the decimal separator is a coma (not a dot) when i change the number 6.55957 by the string "6,55957", it works fine : $valueEuro = $valueFranc / "6,55957"; $valueEuro equals 18,293882068489 i've used setlocale to change the local properties for decimal separator. setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"En"); It works with the string "6.55957" but not with the number 6.55957 Can i change something in php.ini to define the decimal separator for numbers (not string) ? I got this problem with the value of 1 Euro in Franc but i'll get same errors for all my float numbers :( Best regards
