comma instead of dots in lat/long after serverchange

Eli15

hi,

so with comma, the lat/long doesn't work.
I had to change or insert on line about 408**

...
$lat_f = str_replace(',', '.', $lat_f);
$long_f = str_replace(',', '.', $long_f);

$result = array( ...

the str_replace above seems not to work ...

best,
Eli

Yes, GEO data values for long/latmust use international format with dots. To my knowledge that is the standard on these values Comma is a specific European writing only.

Where does your geodata come from that it uses commas?

Eli15

I add them with exiftool and don't remember if with dot or not and if there is any errorroutine.
In exiftool I see in the metadata with '-g -s -k' in a different, 'own' degreenotation.

I did search a bit and I didn't really find if commas are "disallowed" in general. At least dots seem to be the general writing (and I am from country that writes commas with decimals as well). I can of course add your addition to the plugin just to cover it.

yes, sure!

You have this code some lines above in this function. I didn't analyse it fully, if its double now ...

I switched from my home-Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) to a "Server API Apache 2.0 Handler" (Linux) of my hoster ALL-INKL.COM.
may be any character set hook or interchange

I doubt that server setting changes geometa data in the images as those are statically. You had them most likely added "wrong" with commas in the first place.

Eli15

hi,

no, I have them not added "wrong", I'm just the simple BDU.
I insert the values with exiftool:
exiftool -xmp:gpslatitude=54.55555 -xmp:gpslongitude=9.88888 -exif:gpslatitude=54.55555 -exif:gpslongitude=9.88888 image.jpg

**error approximation**:

in the ZenPhoto-table, they become saved
from my hoster with commata (!!?) <<<<
but on my home environment with dots
(seen with phpMyAdmin)

btw:
once I used in project for coordinates not varchar() but
dd_long double(15,13)
or
utm_east double(10,3) ...

so problem might be the insert routine, or the database-config ...

I doubt that Zenphoto converts anything. The plugin re-uses parts of the GoogleMap plugin existing for years and I don't remember to ever have heard about this issue.

Anyway the osm plugin now converts commas in these values to dots if existing.
