Description:
------------
If locale is switched to a european language (like de_DE) then localeconv returns wrong settings for decimal_point and thousands_sep while other data (like mon_decimal_point and mon_thousands_sep) is correct.

This bug was introduced by this patch for ext/standard/string.c:

$Id: string.c,v 1.320 2002/10/10 16:29:35 iliaa Exp $

This patch modified setlocale() so it resets the LC_NUMERIC locale to C. This was a bad enough but there were reasons I agree to.

Here is a patch which corrects this bug by remembering the LC_NUMERIC locale, setting this remembered locale before calling localeconv_r() and resetting it to C after the call. In that way localeconv() returns the correct data and PHP can still stick to LC_NUMERIC=C:

Reproduce code:

<?php

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');
$lc = localeconv();
printf("decimal_point: %s\n", $lc['decimal_point']);
printf("thousands_sep: %s\n", $lc['thousands_sep']);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
decimal_point: ,
thousands_sep: .


Actual result:
--------------
decimal_point: .
thousands_sep:

I think this patch is  abit too much magic myself. We should reconsider the setting of LS_NUMERIC to "C" when we call setlocale(). I'll investigate.
 [2004-11-02 00:37 UTC] iliaa@php.net
we call localeconv when we change locale for numeric or all types. If we were cache this data, we could make localeconv return it without any magic.
