<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, $sLocale='C);
$aLocaleInfo = localeconv();
foreach($aLocaleInfo as $key=>$val) {
echo "$sLocale.$key=$val<br>\n";
}
?>
All produce the same output:
C.decimal_point=.
C.thousands_sep= (it_IT results in '.')
C.int_curr_symbol=
C.currency_symbol=
C.mon_decimal_point=
C.mon_thousands_sep=
C.positive_sign=
C.negative_sign=
C.int_frac_digits=127
C.frac_digits=127
C.p_cs_precedes=127
C.p_sep_by_space=127
C.n_cs_precedes=127
C.n_sep_by_space=127
C.p_sign_posn=127
C.n_sign_posn=127
C.grouping=Array
C.mon_grouping=Array
After some research I found the setlocale 'C' function on OpenBSD has some bugs listed:
http://resin.csoft.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=3&topic=setlocale
BUGS
The current implementation supports only the "C" and "POSIX" locales for
all but the LC_CTYPE locale.
In spite of the gnarly currency support in localeconv(), the standards
don't include any functions for generalized currency formatting. LC_COLLATE does not make sense for many languages. Use of LC_MONETARY
could lead to misleading results until we have a real time currency con-
version function. LC_NUMERIC and LC_TIME are personal choices and should
not be wrapped up with the other categories.So I have three questions:
1) Is there a connection between the C and PHP setlocale functions?
2) If PHP setlocale calls the C routine, then why don't PHP manuals indicate the function is platform/compiler dependant?
3) Are there any values of $sLocale that work on OpenBSD 3.5?
