Where decimal part goes?

[gs]

Sorry if it will be second post, but after few hours I still can't see
my previous post.

I have problem with decimal parts on Solaris (PHP+ZendOptimizer). When I
get value from MySQL (or from text file - I have had the same), it is
loosing decimal parts.

For example, let say, that from MySQL I have $line[myvalue]=123.45
Then if I will do this:

echo $line[myvalue];
echo number_format($line[myvalue],2,".","");
echo 1*$line[myvalue];

I will recive this values:

123.45
123.00 => ?????
123

Does anybody know, where is the problem?
On some other instalation (on Windows and Linux) everything is O'K.

What is more interesting, when I compute this value - let say like this:

$newvalue=1.22*$something

I will have $newvalue eqal to 150,06, which is 1.22*123
And I can do everything with it without any problems.

Hope somebody could help me solving this problem,

It looks like a bug in the numer_format routine. This works on an
OpenVMS PHP version 4.3.2 as well. In this case, you should go to the
PHP site and find the link to report bugs. You will need to most (if
not all) of the information from the output of phpinfo(). Make sure it
includes the OS version and patch level as well as the php version and
any fixes applied.

$line[myvalue]=123.45;
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";
echo number_format($line[myvalue],2,".","")."\n";
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";
echo 1*$line[myvalue]."\n";
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";

RESULT:

123.45
123.45
123.45
123.45
123.45

and just to make sure:

$line[myvalue]=123.45;
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";
$x = number_format($line[myvalue],2,".","");
echo "$x\n";
echo 1*$line[myvalue]."\n";
echo 1*$x."\n";
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";

123.45
123.45
123.45
123.45
123.45

I suppose not in number_format. It is just where I have first seen it.
If I will do like this:

$something=191.2434;
$second=1*$something;
echo $second;

I will have 191 as output.

Byt if I will do like this:

$something=1912434/10000;
$second=$something;
echo $second;

it is 191.2434

So probably it is a bug, but I'm nearly sure that not with number_format.

Well I tried it and got error notices.
Try:

$line['myvalue']=123.45;
echo $line['myvalue']."\n";
echo number_format($line['myvalue'],2,".","")."\n";
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";
echo 1*$line['myvalue']."\n";
echo "$line[myvalue]\n";

Sounds like a locale issue to me. PHP doesn't see 123.45 as 123 + 45/100
because the Polish notation is 123,45 (comma instead of period for the
decimal point). "123.45" thus get converted to 123.

Run this and see what it says:

print_r(localeconv());
