I mean, is there no way to set locale info per thread? And after a brief web search I came up with this keyword: _configthreadlocale Read more at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library//26c0tb7x(VS.80).aspx (beware, this page is very slow or their servers are anyway). Looks like this function exists since Windows 95 and guess what it does: it affects the behaviour of the locale functions so that _each thread will have indipendent locale settings_. So, I though: WHY? Why does not PHP use such function in the win32 binding? Let's be clear, I don't think to have found a solution that (the great) PHP developers could not find, but I would like to know why they did not fix the bad behaviour of PHP's setlocale() function using the _configthreadlocale() win32 function, there must be some reason I really could not think about up to now. I really hope somebody can point me to something to read about this topic (I found pretty nothing up to now) or better directly explain it to me.
