Thanks, Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-08 04:14:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi somehow it has to do with converting 'numberic'-strings to floats as the script below shows: <? $rate1 = 1.123; $amount1 = 5; $rate2 = "1.123"; $amount2 = "5"; // set locale to English to handle the floatingpoints correctly // first calculation with floats setlocale (LC_ALL, 'en_US'); echo "This should be correct:<br><br>"; echo $rate1." * ".$amount1." = ".($rate1*$amount1); // second calculation with floats converted from strings echo "<br><br>This should be correct as well:<br><br>"; echo $rate2." * ".$amount2." = ".($rate2*$amount2); // set locale to Dutch to show misbehaviour // first calculation with floats setlocale (LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); echo "<br><br>This should still be correct:<br><br>"; echo $rate1." * ".$amount1." = ".($rate1*$amount1); // second calculation with floats converted from strings echo "<br><br>This should be wrong:<br><br>"; echo $rate2." * ".$amount2." = ".($rate2*$amount2); ?> Hope this shows the 'bug' correctly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-07 14:36:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is dangerous indeed. We've had already reports about this (forgot #, or did it even only came up on php-dev@?). Though It may sound trivial, please provide a short self-contained script showing the (mis-)behaviour. Marking as critical for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-07 14:02:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I set my locale to Dutch in my php-script that converts currencies for a Dutch site, I noticed that also the internal representation of floats change as well. In Europe an amount of tenthousand dollars is written as follows: $10.000,00 unlike the USA $10,000.00 So if I set the locale to "nl_NL" the internal representation of a float with a point to seperate the integer part from the decimals (for example: $amount = 68.123) is changed to a representation of a comma ','. I would like to see it changed because it messes up calculations and the different locale settings should (IMHO) apply only to output function and such.
