Reported By: hh at loca dot net
Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Strings related
Operating System: Linux (SuSE 7.0)
PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1
New Comment:
Version: 5.1.6
Linux 2.4. Don't know exactly which Linux, it's the one on 1&1.
I encountered this bug on 5.1.6 but I can't test on 5.2.
Since this bug seems old and has been closed all this time I guess it
isn't fixed yet.
It works probably on all locales enabled systems. But maybe not.
I won't be able to test it because I don't have the LC_NUMERIC locales
and don't really know how to install them on NetBSD.
However I can help you reproduce this bug.
You need to use a locale from a country that uses comma (,)
as the decimal seperator, as said hh before. You must have all the
locale category installed (but LC_NUMERIC is probably the only one
really needed). You only have to do this:
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); // or 'de_DE' or others, too
printf('%.2f', 42.4242);
?>
This will print "42.00".

This problem also exits in our application which runs on php-4.2.3.
We use 'setlocale' there to handle gettext translations. With LC_ALL
set by 'setlocale' all prices in the shopping basket and VAT
calculations with floats are 'calculated wrong'
Thanks for that hint.

Changing the locale setting to a country that uses comma (,)
as the decimal seperator will stip off decimal places from
the float value in printf/sprintf. Example:
MySQL table:
create table test (
name varchar(100),
value float(16,2)
);
insert into test values ('bla', 3.789);
PHP code:
setlocale("LC_ALL", "de_DE");
// mysql_connect etc.
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
printf("%s: %.2f",
$row["name"], $row["value"]);
Result:
bla: 3.00
