[PHP-DEV] PostgreSQL pg_query_params, PHP locales, and double data types

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a PHP bug in the PostgreSQL pg_query_params function
reopened; it's been marked bogus (incorrectly IMO). There are lots of
details at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46408. If this is in fact
bogus, I'd appreciate a little bit of feedback.

Many thanks!

Just out of curiosity, did you test this with PDO?
Personally I always found the entire setlocale() business entirely
painful.

No, I haven't tried PDO; my application requires PHP 4.x compatibility
for the time being, unfortunately, and PDO is 5.x-only.

BTW, after a little follow-up conversation with Lukas (thanks), I've
also confirmed that PDO has the same problem. Both PostgreSQL's number
parser and the SQL-92 spec expect numbers to be formatted with a "." for
the decimal place.
