Description:
------------
We have an environment where we both use odbc_pconnect and different locales. DB2 recognises the locale and returns data formatted based on this locale. That means when we do a setlocale(LC_ALL, de_DE); before we connect we get float formatted so: 1,23541200000000E+004 and when we do a setlocale(LC_ALL, en_GB); we get float formatted so 1.23541200000000E+004. This works fine when we use odbc_connect. The problem is when we use odbc_pconnect connections are recycled without taking the locale into account. Sometimes we get english when we have set german and vice versa.

Unforutnately this cannot be influenced by PHP, you need to take care of your locale when useing ODBC.

The bug is about odbc_pconnect i.e. take notice of the "p". As far as I know the persistence of the connection is handled by php. The problem is the following:
setlocale(LC_ALL, de_DE);
odbc_pconnect(...)
SQL: select current_timestamp from ... result: date in german format
setlocale(LC_ALL, en_EN);
odbc_pconnect(...)
SQL: select current_timestamp from ... result: date still in german format

So obviously odbc_pconnect is taking notice of the locale when connecting, but not when using persistence connections. Thanks for the speedy reply to the problem by the way (nearly three years...)

thanks for wasting our time, by the way. (You probably find such comments funny, eh?)

The connection is just opened once.

Excuse me? No I don't find it funny. The fact is the reply took 3 years. If you don't want to fix the problem or even understand it then fine don't. It is still a Unified ODBC problem though. If the connect routine takes notice of the locale when first connecting and not by any subsequent connections that is a bug. End of story. A fix would be to set the current locale on the existing connection or to keep track of the locales corresponding to the open connections in the pool and open a new connection when the current locale doesn't fit any in the pool. We had to stop using pconnect and implemenent our own pool doing exactly this.
