note 65240 added to function.setlocale

I've had problems with PHP not recognizing decimal numbers when run under Windows XP with german locale. The following code explains the problem: <?php $a = 1.5; $b = (float) "1.5"; $c = (float) "1,5"; echo "a:$a; b:$b; c:$c"; ?> It returned "a:1; b:1, c:1,5" When setting the decimal point character in Windows Control Panel (Regional settings) to ".", it returned "a:1.5; b:1.5; c:1". Setting the locale via setlocale(LC_NUMERICAL, "en") only had an effect on the number output. It seems to be a problem with the php_gtk.dll extension. When I commented out the extension=php_gtk.dll line in php.in, the output was as expected. Apparently the php_gtk extension imports the locale settings from Windows, but also changes something in the PHP engine to not accept "." as a decimal point in source code anymore. Tested with php-gtk 1.0.1a and php 4.3.9-dev It seems to be fixed when using php-gtk 1.0.2 and php 4.4.1-dev ---- Server IP: 217.13.201.10 Probable Submitter: 129.233.113.134 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/65240 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65240 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/65240 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
