It is written nowhere, that setlocale() can be used for simple mathematical operations like adding,
substracting, dividing or multiplying. The code below gives correct results:
setlocale("LC_ALL", "pl");
$net = "1234,56";
$gross = "1,22" * $net;
printf("gross: %s, net: %s", $gross, $net");
/* Polish VAT tax is 22% */
Result of this code is:
gross: 1234,56, net: 1506,1632
So, every one can use his own decimal point for mathematical operations without any error or warning
(PHP3.0.3).
