Yes and no in fact.
Using the same decimal separator on all platform is nice but-
When you using input from browser (POST) in Poland you will get "," as
decimal separator when someone type from numeric keypad.
Second:
Try to read dbase file with numeric(4,2) field and float value in it.
Set locale to "pl_PL" first. Because of float->string translation using
locale you will never get float from that numeric (because dbase reading
procedure make float->string->float convert. float->string using locale.
string->float without using locale. It makes value truncated to integer
part of it).

The output may differe depending on your localem but the input must
always be the same, otherwise your script would not work on servers
with different locales.

Description:
------------
When converting to float from string, its always use "." as a decimal
separator, but echo shows decimal separator using locale definition.
Because of that there's a problem eg. in dbase function on
numeric(float) fields.
Reproduce code:
---------------
setlocale(LC_ALL,"pl_PL");
echo '1.2*1=';
echo "1.2"*1;
//produce 1.2*1=1,2
echo '1,2*1=';
echo "1,2"*1;
//produce 1,2*1=1 <- this was expected to produce 1,2 float on pl_PL
(in PL decimal separator is ",")
setlocale(LC_ALL,"en_EN");
echo '1.2*1=';
echo "1.2"*1;
//produce 1.2*1=1.2
echo '1,2*1=';
echo "1,2"*1;
//produce 1,2*1=1 <- correct on en_EN
//the most ugly examlpe
setlocale(LC_ALL,"pl_PL");
echo (("1.2"*1)."")*1; //produce 1
echo (("1,2"*1)."")*1; //also produce 1
Expected result:
----------------
on pl_PL
1
1,2
on en_EN
1.2
1
last one example code:
1
1,2
Actual result:
--------------
on pl_PL
1,2
1
on en_EN
1.2
1
last one example code:
1
1
