New Comment:
It shouldn't.
is_numeric() works just in the same way as in other languages,
specifically as described in PHP docs:
"Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits,
optional decimal part and optional exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is
a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal notation (0xFF) is allowed too but
only without sign, decimal and exponential part."
This doesn't prevent one from implementing his own algorithm with a
custom function.

Description:
------------
is_numeric("1343.32") returns true, but is_numeric("1,343.32") returns
false. Since the comma is used just for visual representation, the
number represented is still numeric and is_numeric function should
return true.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo is_numeric("1,343.32");
Expected result:
----------------
true
Actual result:
--------------
false
