Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-02 04:43:28] int-e at gmx dot de In the hope that this speeds up fixing the bug, here's a version of above patch that applies cleanly against php 5.2.6. The formatting of the code in question is different in the subversion trunk, but it's the same otherwise. At least that's how it was two months ago. http://int-e.home.tlink.de/php/php-5.2.6-printf.patch (use patch -p1 to apply) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-30 14:38:33] admin at shadowops dot net This bug is not limited to the Round() and related commands. I have been hit by it and it has caused many issues with MYSQL and values entered into the DB. 1200000 in debug mode prints as 1.2E+6 this is why in the DB it simply +1 insted of 1200000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-05 17:55:52] sweiss at stylesight dot com You guys *have* to make changes like this more explicitly stated... It took forever to even realize the problem we were having lay with PHP and not the Javascript it was printing it out to - I definitely read the changelog and definitely did not pick up on the fact that all my numbers were going to suddenly come out in this totally useless format now. *Seriously Frustrating* - Couldn't this have just been an ini option for the people that wanted it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-18 13:07:41] rbro at hotmail dot com Thanks for your help - that definitely seems to fix the problem. I manually applied your changes since I wanted to test it against the PHP 5.2.5 source, but I'm getting consistent output now when working with floats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-18 01:34:28] int-e at gmx dot de Here's a patch that fixes the problem. http://int-e.home.tlink.de/php/php-printf.patch There are three changes here: 1) get rid of a hack in zend_dtoa() that sometimes kept trailing zeros (which caused the inconsistent behaviour between printing 1200000 and 1300000) 2) change php_gcvt() to switch to E format for large numbers if the number wouldn't fit into precision digits. 3) update a few tests to reflect the change to the precision semantics. I believe that in each of these cases, the test was flawed. Note that a precision of 14 (the default) means that 15 digit numbers should be printed in E notation, at least that's how I read the sprintf documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
