note 85877 added to function.setlocale

A generalization for mk (26-Jan-2004) and totu (09-Sep-2002). The issue is not restricted to MySQL. For instance, when PHP needs to cast a floating point variable to string, it obeys the LC_NUMERIC settings: <?php $foo = 29.95; echo "Locale: " . setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, 0) . "\n"; echo "Foo: $foo\n"; setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, 'Spanish_Spain.28605'); echo "Locale: " . setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, 0) . "\n"; echo "Foo: $foo\n"; ?> Under Windows, this code prints: Locale: C Foo: 29.95 Locale: Spanish_Spain.28605 Foo: 29,95 ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 80.37.14.51 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85877 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85877 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85877 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
