#28057 [NEW]: nl_langinfo returns wrong data for de_DE
From: bublavas at ecetra dot com
Operating system: 2.4.21-9.EL GNU/Linux
PHP version: 4.3.6
PHP Bug Type: Strings related
Bug description: nl_langinfo returns wrong data for de_DE
Description:
nl_langinfo returns wrong values for THOUSEP and RADIXCHAR after setting
the locale to 'de_DE'. Using localeconv() returns the same wrong values.
An equivalent C program returns correct results.
PHP 4.3.4 returns the same results as 4.3.6; executing the script from the
command line vs. using HTTP (Apache 2.0.48) makes no difference as well.
Reproduce code:
---
if ( setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE') )
{
echo thousands separator: , nl_langinfo(THOUSEP), \n;
echo decimal point: , nl_langinfo(RADIXCHAR), \n;
}
else
{
echo cannot set locale to de_DE, \n;
}
Expected result:
thousands separator: .
decimal point: ,
Actual result:
--
thousands separator:
decimal point: .

New Comment:
Hmm, shouldn't this hack be in serialize() then? Do you know a
workaround that I can use?

No, the problem is in setlocale().
When you set LC_NUMERIC or LC_ALL and the decimal point is not '.',
then LC_NUMERIC is set back to C again.
This hack is required for serialize() when handling floating point
numbers.
