Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-11 18:46:05] carusogabriel@php.net Locale::setDefault has always true return: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=ext/intl/locale/locale_methods.c;hb=HEAD#l248 Might be interesting drop this and make it void in the next PHP version, as it's considered a BC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-24 21:17:00] cmb@php.net Basically, Locale::setDefault($string) behaves the same as ini_set('intl.default_locale', $string)[1]. It is arguable whether this is a bug, but at least the documentation regarding the return value should be improved.
