New Comment:
No bug here. different OSes have different naming schemes for locales.
Nothing we can/should do about that.
Reclassified as documentation issue. (there's already note for Windows
about the same thing)

To resume this, FreeBSD needs fr_FR.charset and not only fr_FR,
shouldn't we automaticly add the charset if it is not already present
at least under BSD systems so we can have portable codes? :-)

Description:
------------
setlocale() fails under FreeBSD 4.8:
[Fri Oct 31 - 17:56:28 - root /httpd/php-4.3.3]# cat configure.log |
grep locale
checking for locale.h... (cached) yes
checking for setlocale... (cached) yes
checking for localeconv... (cached) yes
[Fri Oct 31 - 17:56:45 - root /httpd/php-4.3.3]#
In fact, setlocale returns FALSE but no E_WARNING or anything.
After looking in ext/standard/string.c it looks like it can happen when
HAVE_SETLOCALE is not defined...
But HAVE_SETLOCALE is defined.
Another solution is that, setlocale() call fails:
retval = setlocale (cat, loc);
We've got an if (retval) { } but no else...
According to freebsd's man, setlocale returns NULL on failure.
I added:
else {
/* setlocale failed */
efree(args);
php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "setlocale failed!");
RETURN_FALSE;
}
And I get the E_WARNING, so it means setlocale() call failed, but why ?
the same scripts works fine under linux but not under freebsd4.8.
After looking in /usr/share/locale, we have:
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO8859-1:
LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO8859-15:
LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO_8859-1:
LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO_8859-15:
LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
so it should work.
If I have change fr_FR to fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 in the setlocale call, the
script works fine, isn't setlocale() supposed to use default charset
which is ISO_8859-1 ? In any case the documentation does not mention
that we have to add the charset under FreeBSD...
Reproduce code:
---------------
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
echo strftime("%B %Y",$timestamp);
Expected result:
----------------
TRUE
Octobre 2003
Actual result:
--------------
FALSE
October 2003
