See http://bugs.php.net/?id=48612 "Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. And RTFM". (RTFM is my interpretation of the rest). And that only took a little more than a month. Thanks very much. Can anyone here tell me why the CLI behaviour reported is not a bug? An explicit manual reference will do. Btw, I brought it up here already: http://marc.info/?l=php-general&m=124487699630514&w=2 /Per I don't mean to be rude, but I have never heard of or used these functions and never written a multi-lingual PHP site. I RTFM'd and found this:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php Then I read the first sentence defining the second parameter, which states: If /locale/ is *NULL* or the empty string /""/, the locale names will be set from the values of environment variables with the same names as the above categories, or from "LANG". Pretty straight-forward.
