I am currently working on a website localized in several languages, and I am having a problem when json_decode reformats decimal numbers in JSON strings depending on the language. When the locale is set to "en", the decimal places remain intact. However, in the fr_FR locale they are replaced, for example, with 13.3.
JSON Source:
{"debug":[{"id":13.3}]}
Exit for "en"
Array
(
[debug] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 13.3
)
)
)
Output for "fr_FR"
Array
(
[debug] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 13,3
)
)
)
Is there a reason json_decode does this? Is there any way to prevent this?
The error causes problems with the Gravity Forms Wordpress plugin, but I have already highlighted the problem for the json_decode function.
