Hi Internals,
Together with George, I'd like to propose an RFC for a long-standing
problem PHP has:
casting floats to string depends on the locale settings. As this behaviour
is nonsense, and
because it can cause quite serious problems, we would like to get rid of
locale-dependence
in PHP 8.
Plea
Hi,
This is a great RFC! Just one minor thing.

separator will have a slightly different output. In our opinion, the
backward compatibility break won't be serious in practice
In my opinion, this will be huge. I can't trace back wh

Hi Lynn,

consumed on the other side.
I agree that these cases can go horribly wrong. However, my reasoning is
the following:
- if a piece of code currently relies on locale-independence (e.g.
automated data exports) then t
I'm very sorry, I pressed the reply instead of reply all button, I hope
this fixes it!

Hi Lynn,
Thank you very much for the input! Then we could add a secondary vote to
the RFC where an
upgrade path was decided upon.
The first such path is the one proposed by Christoph:
Introduce a temporary ini setting with which a "debug" mode of float to
string casting could be
enabled. That is,
Hello all,
We've updated the implementation [1] and RFC [2] to provide a
temporary INI setting which will emit a warning every time a locale-aware
float to string conversation would have been done in PHP 7.
It's current name debug_local_sensitive_float_casts is also up to
debate and will be voted
