Bug description: Problem with (float) typecasting
Description:
------------
When using (float)$dd for typecasting a string to a float, I get a wrong
result back, because PHP convert . to ,
Later using the result outside PHP troubles begin.
Thinks it happens because we have used setLocale('da_DK'), because we i
Denmark use , instead of .
Why just use . everytime, as in other programming-languages ?
Reproduce code:
---------------
print ((float)'1.5').'<br>'; // Result 1,5
print ((float)'1,5').'<br>'; // Result 1 - Fine with me
Expected result:
----------------
1.5
1
Actual result:
--------------
1,5
1
