Description:
------------
Seems like there has been a change to the var_export-function, when comparing PHP4 and PHP5, as stated below:

PHP4
----
     314                 :         case IS_DOUBLE:
     315               8 :                 php_printf("%.*G", (int) EG(precision), Z_DVAL_PP(struc));
> from: http://gcov.php.net/PHP_4_4/lcov_html/ext/standard/var.c.gcov.php

PHP5
----
     407                 :         case IS_DOUBLE:
     408              42 :                 php_printf("%.*H", (int) EG(precision), Z_DVAL_PP(struc));
> from: http://gcov.php.net/PHP_5_2/lcov_html/ext/standard/var.c.gcov.php

Of some reason, the output don't give the same.
I don't know if it's PHP4 that has always had this problem, or if it's a new problem only existing in PHP5.

However, it gives difficulties, if trying to compare the results or want to output the results float-values to either JavaScript or Database. And especially when trying to create scripts that should work on both PHP-versions (4.x+5.x).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	$test_value = 1.50;

	setlocale(LC_ALL, 'da_DK.iso-8859-1', 'da_DK', 'danish', 'da');
	echo 'DK: ' . var_export($test_value, TRUE) . "\n";

	setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en');
	echo 'EN: ' . var_export($test_value, TRUE) . "\n";

	echo "\n" . PHP_VERSION;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
DK: 1.5
EN: 1.5

Actual result:
--------------
DK: 1,5
EN: 1.5

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi

I already fixed this I think... please try the snapshot. But are you really on Windows?

Has it just been fixed?
Wasn't able to find any bug related to this issue, but could just see that there was a problem with PHP 5.2.3 (on multiple both Windows 2000 and XP).

Seems like it is fixed in the CVS snapshot, as far as I can see.

Thanks for the quick reply :)

Do you know in how many version of PHP5, the issue has existed?
 [2007-07-05 20:52 UTC] derick@php.net
5.2.1 to 5.2.3 only, I didn't file a bug for this, but I will write this one in the NEWS file.

Ah I see, that's okay :)

Thanks for the fix anyway.

// over and out ;-)
