Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76513&edit=1 ID: 76513 User updated by: jluc at no-log dot org Reported by: jluc at no-log dot org Summary: locale for day of week -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: linux PHP Version: 7.2.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: On my locale machine here are the results : $ locale -a | grep fr fr_BE.utf8 fr_CA.utf8 fr_CH.utf8 fr_FR.utf8 fr_LU.utf8 $ php -f str.php 7.1.17-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 in French Saturday andbool(false) (i added echo phpversion() to your proposed script) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-21 14:50:26] danack@php.net I can't reproduce this issue. Please could you run on the command line: ``` locale -a | grep fr ``` and also run ``` $result = setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR"); echo strftime(" in French %A and"); var_dump($result); ``` and give the output for both. The simplest explanation would be that the fr_FR locale is not available on your system for whatever reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-21 14:07:19] jluc at no-log dot org Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strftime --- "Format the time and/or date according to locale settings. Month and weekday names and other language-dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale()." BUT day of week are allways english, whatever the locale The given example is : setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR"); echo strftime(" in French %A and"); but the output is not displayed in http://www.php.net/function.strftime AMOF, output is in French Thursday and Thu Which is not the expected : "in French Jeudi and Jeu" Expected result: ---------------- Either documentation is wrong and setlocale is not efficient with dayofweeks names Either this is a bug Anyway, the output for this example should be included in the documentation (not only the PHP source) as it's done for other examples. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76513&edit=1
