Description:
------------
One may expect number_format to behave localised and to use mon_thousands_sep and mon_decimal_point from localeconv().

See bug 12647, but not only for decimal points but also for thousands seperators.

Reproduce code:
---------------
setlocale(LC_ALL, "de");
print number_format(100000);

Expected result:
----------------
100.000

Actual result:
--------------
100,000

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Check the return value of setlocale(), I bet it\'s false because you simply don\'t have the \"de\" locale.

That's strange because all other locale things I use are working & return expected results, including localeconv.
I do not know whether number_format SHOULD use locale settings or not, can you give me a hint?

Actually, it should not use it now that you ask. See the following example on how to use it:

(and still not a bug :)

Ok thanks. And you're sure that this behaviour shouldn't be changed? =)
