PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: zend_strtod.c does not respect locale.
Description:
------------
The Zend engine does not respect the current locale when it converts from
a string to a float.
Zend assumes that all numbers have a "." as a decimal seperator. This is
not the case in many parts of the world.
Included in this bug is a bit of "non-portable" code that solves the
problem. This may not be the most elegant solution but it illustrates what
needs to be fixed.
Here are my changes to Zend/zend_strtod.c at line 1249:
// CONST char decimal_point = ',';
char decimal_point = '.';
#ifdef HAVE_LOCALE_H
struct lconv* current_locale;
current_locale=localeconv();
decimal_point=(*(*current_locale).decimal_point);
#endif
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
setLocale(LC_ALL,"de_DE");
echo ("2,2"*2)."\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The result one would expect if PHP respected locale:
4,4
Actual result:
--------------
What you get is:
4
