Comments on: Zend Framework and locales http://www.dotvoid.com/2009/04/zend-framework-and-locales/ Experiments and thoughts in PHP and javascript Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:33:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gabriel http://www.dotvoid.com/2009/04/zend-framework-and-locales/comment-page-1/#comment-470 Gabriel Thu, 02 Apr 2009 09:15:51 +0000 http://www.dotvoid.com/?p=366#comment-470 Aaah, this behavior has bitten me too! I was in a hurry to fix it, so my "fix" was to remove Zend_Locale and use str_replace and number_format instead (It's an app that will never have another locale than de_DE). Great to see that it is indeed a bug und not my misunderstanding of I18N. @Lucas If you can wait for PHP 6 that's a great luxury I don't have. I have customers that want to have apps to display their prices NOW. Not using set_locale is not an option because of encoding requirements. Reverting to the default locale would be ok (but would produce long code with each formatting and conversion of a number taking 3 lines instead of 1), but if this patch fixes the behavior in a future-proof way I am very thankful.

Well if no one reports errors the of course no one will fix them... And why I would wait for PHP 6 I don't know. This particular problem is in Zend Framework. Not PHP. Hopeless?

And why I would wait for PHP 6 I don’t know. This particular problem is in Zend Framework. Not PHP.

Just wait for PHP6, until then either dont use set_locale() or if you must do it in your own code and revert it back to standard the second you call other peoples code.
