tidy_parse_string change the locale previously set with setlocale

The function tidy_parse_string change my locale to 'C'.

<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

/* [...] */

echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0); // Show "de_DE"
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($text, $config, 'UTF8');
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0); // show "C" instead of "de_DE"
?>

There is an option to prevent it?

There is nothing about it in the PHP and Tidy documentation.

I know I can simply re-change my locale after tidy function with

<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

/* [...] */

$oldLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($text, $config, 'UTF8');
setlocale(LC_ALL, $oldLocale);
?>

but I want to know if this is a feature, a bug or something else.

Thanks

Solution

  • It's a bug: https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/issues/770.

    So the workaround is to insert the setlocale after the call.

    <?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

/* [...] */

$oldLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($text, $config, 'UTF8');
setlocale(LC_ALL, $oldLocale);
?>
