ID: 40653 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: plyrvt at mail dot ru -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment:
The point is that string representation of doubles (i.e. double-to-string) always depends on locale settings. But string-to-double always ignores locale and uses "." as decimal separator. That might sound inconsistent, but consider this first: 1) we DO want users to be able to output numbers in locale-dependent format; 2) we DON'T want scripts to depend on locale or we may end up with scripts working/not working with particular locales.

They can respect locale or ignore locale, but at least both do things the same way! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "ANY_LOCALE_WITH_,_SEPARATOR"); $f=1.2; $s=strval($f); $f=floatval($s); var_dump($f); // expected: 1.2 or 1,2 // actual: 1 ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40653&edit=1
