I've had some troubles using Zend_Locale_Format ::toFloat() along with setlocale().

Here is a sample code to illustrate the issue :

require_once('Zend/Loader.php');

Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Locale');

// setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR@euro');
$locale_fr = new Zend_Locale('fr_FR');
$locale_en = new Zend_Locale('en_US');
$params_fr = array('precision' => 2, 'locale' => $locale_fr);
$params_en = array('precision' => 2, 'locale' => $locale_en);
$myFloat = 1234.5;
$test1 = Zend_Locale_Format::toFloat($myFloat, $params_fr);
$test2 = Zend_Locale_Format::toFloat($myFloat, $params_en);
var_dump($test1);
var_dump($test2);

The problem comes from the setlocale() call : if it is not present, everything goes fine but when I set PHP's locale to French, I can't get toFloat() to work.

Output without setlocale() :

string(9) "1 234,50" string(8) "1,234.50"

Output with setlocale() :

string(4) "0,00" string(4) "0.00"

The server I work on is a Linux box (Debian stable), and AFAIK, the standard locale is 'C'. I'm using PHP version 5.2.1 with the BCmath extension enabled. Regarding the framework, I had this problem while I was using the 0.8.0 version and it is still present in the 3912 SVN version.

Last thing, I quote a short part of Thomas' last answer on the mailing list :

So toNumberFormat does not have to parse for the decimal point, because the input is not a string but a integer/float value.

Are you 100% positive about that ? I'm saying that because when I see a piece of code like the following :

// get number parts
if (iconv_strpos($value, '.') !== false) {

in toNumberFormat(), my first guess would be that you are actually looking for the decimal separator in the input value.

This seems to be confirmed by a short trace I ran on this part of code :

                 }
             }
+			die('strpos true : ' . $precstr);
         } else {
             if ($options['precision'] > 0) {
                 $precstr = str_pad("0", ($options['precision']), "0");
             }
+			die('strpos false : ' . $precstr);
         }
         if ($options['precision'] === null) {
             if (isset($precstr)) {

Output without setlocale() :

strpos true : 50

Output with setlocale() :

strpos false : 00

Behaviour of this part of code is different whether the locale is set to French or not.

Hopefully there's enough information in this description, if not just let me know
