Description:
------------
Unexpected result on bccomp  when using any decimal comma locale.
If an operand is a fraction, and the other is zero, the result seems to be wrong.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
print setlocale(LC_ALL, "C")."\n";
print 1.1."\n";
print bccomp(1.1, 0)."\n";
//changing locale to a country which uses decimal comma
print setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_DK.UTF-8")."\n";
print 1.1."\n";
print bccomp(1.1, 0)."\n";
print setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt_BR.UTF-8")."\n";
print 1.1."\n";
print bccomp(1.1, 0)."\n";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
C
1.1
1
en_DK.UTF-8
1,1
1
pt_BR.UTF-8
1,1
1


Actual result:
--------------
C
1.1
1
en_DK.UTF-8
1,1
0
pt_BR.UTF-8
1,1
0

This is actually expected behaviour because bcmath operates on strings and PHP casts numbers to strings according to locale.

@mike PHP's shitty float to string cast shouldn't impede the workings of bcmath. We've had this problem in the past several times (with stuff like JSON etc) and the solution is to use some custom printf modifier for this.

Nevertheless it is expected behaviour.
Argument type of these functions is string.

This is a bug report about an unexpected result not a feature request to implement some magic non-locale-aware string cast.

Sorry :)
