From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.1 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: setlocale changes the internal representation of floats
If I set my locale to Dutch in my php-script that converts currencies for a Dutch site, I noticed that also the internal representation of floats change as well. In Europe an amount of tenthousand dollars is written as follows: $10.000,00 unlike the USA $10,000.00 So if I set the locale to "nl_NL" the internal representation of a float with a point to seperate the integer part from the decimals (for example: $amount = 68.123) is changed to a representation of a comma ','. I would like to see it changed because it messes up calculations and the different locale settings should (IMHO) apply only to output function and such.
