## #4362 — Wojtek Meler — 2003-09-03T09:04:32+00:00

I wonder if it is "by design" that PHP don't read all LC_* settings from 
environment.
In main/main.c we read `LC_CTYPE` only. I think at least `LC_COLLATE` also 
should be read.
 `strcoll()` behavior relay on this - strings are not properly compared.
Maybe we can read all bu `LC_NUMERIC` settings from environment
