My current locale is indeed he_IL: hebrew(israel).
i'm not sure how to install another locale... but my machine is able to display english
characters :))
when i switch between php versions, i do it on the same machine: i stop iis, rename the php folders
and start the server again.
I also ran the script using CLI and got the same results.

Hi,
thanks for posting the experience. However on my machine your exact snippet worked.
There's another point with gettext - the locale passed to gettext has to be present on the
system. Same on Linux, the locale has to be present (that /etc/locale.gen stuff), on Windows it has
to be installed along with the base locale. After your last discovery, is the base system locale on
your machine he_IL? Please check that en_US support is installed as well.
Is the machine where 5.4 works the same where 5.5 fails? Also, to exclude IIS, could you please try
the same on CLI?
Thanks.

hmm, apparently, trying other locales, other than he_IL doesn't fix the problem...
i've tried: es_ES, en, 'dummy', fr_FR same result as en_US.
only he_IL fixes the problem, may it has something to do with my region format being
"israel"?

ok, i found something,
if i change the folder en_US to he_IL and also use these lines instead of the original ones:
putenv("LC_ALL=he_IL");
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'he_IL');
and restart the server then everything is working fine...
i didn't had this problem in version 5.4.8 :(

Hi, this is a complete sample:
http://blossom-kc.com/download/php_gettext/gettext.zip
(php.ini is included).
this sample works for a friend of mine, but not on my machine (windows 8 + iis + 5.5.7)
also, i am using iisreset to the restart the server (and tried reboot).
