ID: 39158 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: andiesPostfach at web dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filter related Operating System: Suse Linux 9.3 PHP Version: 5.2.0RC5 New Comment:
It does not use the LOCALE as it filters external data (from browsers or other clients). The default decimal separator is '.'. You have to use the "decimal" filter option to define ',' as decimal operator: $out = filter_var($float, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT, array("options"=>array('decimal' => ','))); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-14 14:38:37] andiesPostfach at web dot de Obviously ',' isn't allowed ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-14 10:55:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both "." and "," are allowed if you didn't specify your own. This is expected behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-14 10:32:11] andiesPostfach at web dot de Description: ------------ FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT should use the decimal point info from the given locale. In my case (in Germany) it should use ','. Reproduce code: --------------- $loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'de_DE', 'deu_deu'); echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'"; $locale_info = localeconv(); print_r($locale_info); // This should work an give 0,27 $value = "0,27"; echo "Value is: ".filter_var( $value, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT ); // This shouldn't work but it gives 0,27 $value = "0.27"; echo "Value is: ".filter_var( $value, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT ); Expected result: ---------------- Preferred locale for german on this system is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Array ( [decimal_point] => , [thousands_sep] => .
