PHP 4.0 Bug #7626: session saving and loading seem to use different locales

From: cstrebin@softdevel.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.14 PHP version: 4.0.0 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: session saving and loading seem to use different locales My LANG environment variable is "german". At the beginning of every page, I do setLocale('LC_ALL', 'en_US')'. With those settings, float session variables are saved with ,' as decimal point, but loading seems to expect `.' so that I get values truncated to ints. Example script: <? setLocale('LC_ALL', 'en_US'); session_start(); $x = & $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['x']; if (!isset($x)) $x = 1; $x *= '1.1'; print("$x<br>\n"); printf("<a href=\"%s\">go</a>\n", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']); // (link relies on transparent sid) ?> The session file contains x|d:1,1;', and the page always shows 1.1', since the loaded value becomes 1. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7626&edit=1
