An application that deliberately ignores the locale setting passed from the environment is buggy unless it is clearly documented. Why should a developer be forced to be aware of the locale when it has already been done for him? That is just dim. Kyle, imagine this - assume the default locale for the PHP CLI is Greek. In everyone of your scripts you'd have to call setlocale() to get it to accept your otherwise default US locale. Where's the sense in that when your machine already has the correct locale? As for being aggressive - well, being fobbed off with an RTFM when 1) I've spent some time and effort in testing, documenting and reporting the bug, and 2) the behaviour is at best undocumented, well, yes, it p...... me off. It's just not professional and not at all conducive to getting any more bugs reported. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.3°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
