ID: 61082 Comment by: leods92 at gmail dot com Reported by: leods92 at gmail dot com Summary: localeconv() returns space with int_curr_symbol Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: I18N and L10N related Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: 5.3.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't have other Linux machines nor OS X here installed to test the behavior. But if it's standard to UNIX systems, shouldn't then this OSes difference be documented? It may save someone's time on troubleshooting. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-15 00:15:00] ahar...@php.net Thanks for the report. PHP just returns whatever the system's localeconv() provides, so if there's an unexpected space, that's coming from Ubuntu's locale database and needs to be reported to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 14:20:46] leods92 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The function localeconv() returns an array and one of its keys is 'int_curr_symbol' what I expected to return the international currency symbol (e.g. USD (US dollar), BRL (Brazilian real)). I develop in a Windows environment and deploy to a Ubuntu machine and that's why I'm not sure if this is a bug of PHP, bad implementation of standards by Windows or Ubuntu or an undocumented difference. The returned int_curr_symbol from the Ubuntu machine contains an extra space at the end but the one from Windows doesn't. Researching online all I found were old specification documents. Correct me if I am wrong but from what I understood from some documents adding a space to the int_curr_symbol is deprecated. Test script: --------------- <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US'); $x = localeconv(); echo $x['int_curr_symbol']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- $x['int_curr_symbol'] should output 'USD'. Actual result: -------------- $x['int_curr_symbol'] should outputs 'USD '. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61082&edit=1
