Bug #1076 Updated: invalid cast from string to double

ID: 1076 User Update by: davids@iol.cz Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Description: invalid cast from string to double I have this sample code: <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <?php for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++ ) { $q = "122.123"; $dq = (double)$q; $iq = (int)$q; if( $dq == $iq ) echo "$dq:$iq<BR>"; } ?> </BODY> This looks like this code doesn't has visible output in browser. But, in rare cases, I see: 122:122 122:122 122:122 ..... random times repeated This looks like cast from "122.123" to double sometimes produces only 122, not 122.123. This is _rare_ and probably depends on system load etc. PHP was compiled using egcs-1.1b, dynamic php module works with apache. Config line: ./configure --prefix=/usr3/www/apache --with-shared-apache=/usr/src/david/apache_1.3.4 --with-gd --with-pgsql=/opt/pgsql --with-zlib --with-dbase --enable-debugger --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvsem Apache is 1.3.4. =============================================== This bug is probably glibc-related and affect sometimes locale conventions. I'am not sure, but affected function 'strtod()' sometimes fails to recognize locale decimal point correctly. My locale(cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2) defines ','(comma) as decimal point and glibc sometimes fails.
