#38785 [Opn]: float to string cast is always subject to locale settings
ID: 38785 User updated by: m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl -Summary: stripslashes is setlocale aware - decimal point conversion Reported By: m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl Status: Open -Bug Type: Documentation problem +Bug Type: *Languages/Translation Operating System: Linux -PHP Version: Irrelevant +PHP Version: 5.6.1 New Comment: This behaviour is more general - it applyes to any float to string conversion wether it's explicit or implicit. There are some bugreports on this already though all are bound to some concrete functions. Previous Comments: [2006-09-11 23:35:49] m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl Description: Stripslashes seems to be locale specific. It changes decimal point character when used in enviroment with locales set. I'm not shure is this a feature or a bug but it's something unexpected as it's not mensioned in the manual as far as I know. And it's easy to criple database input with this. As a locale to observe this behaviour one can set probably enything that uses comma rather then dot for decimal point. Reproduce code: --- $float = 0.10; // $float is now float 0.10 setlocale(LC_ALL,'C'); $r = stripslashes($float); // $r is now string 0.10 setlocale(LC_ALL,'pl_PL'); $r = stripslashes($float); // $r is now string 0,10 Expected result: No change in decimalpoint or explicit note in documentation. Actual result: -- Provided in code example - change of decimal point character. -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38785edit=1
