I guess it's an issue always if extension does 'convert_to_string()'.
Easily avoided in code: Only do setlocale() prior to outputting stuff.
And then restore the locale right after output. :)

Thanks, lsmith and RhodiumToad. FYI, this bug also exists in PDO (I can
post reproduce code if it's helpful).

<RhodiumToad> lsmith: in a parameterized query it's always wrong to use

locale-specific delimiters

RhodiumToad is also known as Andrew Gierth and is a highly respected 
expert on #postgresql on freenode.

As such I will reopen the bug ..

FYI, there's a discussion of the same bug, which also appeared (in a
separate implementation) in the implementation of the Pear::DB package:

In case it wasn't clear, the bug IMO is that pg_query_params is using a
means to convert doubles to strings that is potentially incompatible
with the database.

Description:
------------
Using PHP's setlocale function can cause number formats to change (e.g.
formatting floats using a comma instead of a decimal, such as 3,5
instead of 3.5). This causes pg_query_params to break when binding
floats into the parameter array, as psql doesn't understand
comma-formatted numbers.

You may need to generate the hr_HR locale on your system in order for
number formatting to work as described above once setlocale has been
called (see the debug "echo" in the reproduce code).

I reproduced the problem with 5.2.6 and 5.2.7RC2.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'hr_HR.utf-8', 'hr_HR');

$number = 3.5;
$dbuser = 'putdbusernamehere';
$dbpass = 'putdbpasswordhere';

echo "Three and a half is: " . $number . " (should come out as
3,5)\n";

$conn = pg_connect("host=localhost user=$dbuser password=$dbpass");
$result = pg_query_params($conn, 'SELECT $1::numeric',
array($number));

pg_close($conn);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Three and a half is: 3,5 (should come out as 3,5)

Actual result:
--------------
Three and a half is: 3,5 (should come out as 3,5)

Warning: pg_query_params(): Query failed: ERROR:  invalid input syntax
for type numeric: "3,5" in /home/asmecher/cvs/ojs2-stable/test.php on
line 13
