#39993 [Asn]: tr_TR.UTF-8 locale has problems with PHP

ID: 39993 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: tunix at raptiye dot org Status: Assigned Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Arch Linux PHP Version: 5.2.0 Assigned To: derick New Comment: Another option that is a bit more performance friendly is something like this: http://bb.prohost.org/patch/date.txt Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-30 23:08:23] tony2001@php.net Its is reproducible with the snapshot. I believe this happens because of strcasecmp() (used in seek_to_tz_position()) behaving weird with tr_TR locale (I remember some similar problems in the past), using something like tolower() & memcmp() should do the trick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-30 20:46:30] derick@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-30 18:22:08] tunix at raptiye dot org Description: ------------ I type <?php echo date("l"); ?> into an empty php file and then run it in command line prompt, and it prints this error message: Fatal error: date(): Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen! in Command line code on line 1 If I use tr_TR.UTF-8 locale, then I can produce this error. But if I use tr_TR.ISO8859-9 or C locales, it doesn't print the error message. Although, tr_TR.ISO8859-9 and C locales return Saturday which is English. It should return "Cumartesi" (turkish). GNU date command works fine with UTF-8 locale.
