I'm trying to get a PHP bug in the PostgreSQL pg_query_params

are lots of details at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46408. If
this is in fact bogus, I'd appreciate a little bit of feedback.
Just out of curiosity, did you test this with PDO?
Personally I always found the entire setlocale() business entirely
painful.
No, I haven't tried PDO; my application requires PHP 4.x compatibility
for the time being, unfortunately, and PDO is 5.x-only.
BTW, after a little follow-up conversation with Lukas (thanks), I've
also confirmed that PDO has the same problem. Both PostgreSQL's number
parser and the SQL-92 spec expect numbers to be formatted with a "." for
the decimal place.
