Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If you switch to a locale where the float separator is ',' then when it
comes to output the data back to the user the float decimal point will
be depedant on the specified locale. Internally however it'll always be
'.'.

This is exactly the problem. When the locale is changed to Dutch the
internal representation of floats is changed. The separator used is
changed to ','. This behaviour is incorrect and should be fixed. Check
my initial and second post for a detailed description.

Thanks,
Jonathan

This bug seems to be still available. Ąt least i can reproduce it with
4.3.0RC2 on Windows 2000 with locale set to 'ru'. 

<?php
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'en');
echo ('1.123'*'5').'<br>';
echo ('1,123'*'5').'<br>';
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'ru');
echo ('1.123'*'5').'<br>';
echo ('1,123'*'5').'<br>';
?>

Results are:
5.615
5
5
5,615

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
