Summary: Locale number format settings can cause
pg_query_params to break with numerics
Status: Wont fix
Type: Bug
Package: PostgreSQL related
Operating System: *
PHP Version: 5.*, 6

New Comment:
yohgaki, I'm not sure I'm following, but to be clear: the bug entry is not
about whether the output is 3,5 or 3.5. The bug is that PostgreSQL throws a
syntax error when passing a floating-point number into a parameterized query.
See RhodiumToad's quoted comment.
You're quoting the following psql query:
select 123456789.12345::text::numeric;
What I'm trying to point out is this:
select 123456789,12345::text::numeric;

It seems it does not work that way.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/locale.html
Check that PostgreSQL is actually using the locale that you think it is. The
LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings are determined when a database is created, and
cannot be changed except by creating a new database. Other locale settings
including LC_MESSAGES and LC_MONETARY are initially determined by the
environment the server is started in, but can be changed on-the-fly. You can
check the active locale settings using the SHOW command.
You may get currency as your locale setting, but not numbers.
yohgaki@[local] ~=# select 123456789.12345::text::money;
money
--------------------------
EUR12.345.678.912.345,00
yohgaki@[local] ~=# select 123456789.12345::text::numeric;
numeric
-----------------
123456789.12345
PHP's pgsql is getting all data as string. If there is a method that returns
numbers as you expected, then you'll get your outputs needed. Can do that in
PHP.

I guess setting locale to database locale resolve this issue.

This issue also appears with pg_execute(), when passing float values to the
bind array, with a locale that uses comma as decimal separator (such as de_DE
and most other european locales).

@jani: When I pass in a double, I expect pg_query_params() to prepare it in a
way that can be understood by the database independent of my locale settings.
AFAIK the implementation of pg_query_params() is also inconsistent with that of
the mysql driver which correctly accepts double typed parameters independent of
locale.
I guess you were not entirely serious when you proposed that one should switch
the locale before using pg_query_params(), were you?

I guess it's an issue always if extension does 'convert_to_string()'.
Easily avoided in code: Only do setlocale() prior to outputting stuff.
And then restore the locale right after output. :)
