 New Comment:

Other locale aware functions also do not respect the set locale in Apache such as:
printf("%.2f\n", 1000000.123);
which outputs 1000000.12 in Apache and 1000000,12 in the CLI (after setting locale   succesfully to
nl_NL.utf8

Description:
------------
This is bizar.
Printing the output of strftime('%c') in my preferred locale nl_NL.utf8 returns the
expected output in the CLI version of PHP but in the Apache module it returns an English datetime
string even though setlocale succeeded.

Checks done to exclude noob causes:
- After setting the locale in php, I check that it succeeded with setlocale(LC_TIME, 0) and it
returns my preferred locale.
- The locale exists in the output of "locale -a".
- "sudo pkg-reconfigure locales" done
- Apache restarted
- Machine even restarted.
- The installed CLI and Apache PHP packages are the exact same version.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('default_mimetype','text/plain');
print "locale -a:\n" . shell_exec('locale -a') . "\n\n";
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');
setlocale(LC_TIME, "nl_NL.utf8");
print 'locale after setlocale: ' . setlocale(LC_TIME, 0) . "\n";
print 'php apache ' . phpversion() . ' strftime %c: ' .
strftime("%c\n");
print 'php cli    ' . shell_exec('php -r \'print phpversion();\'') .
' strftime %c: ' . shell_exec('php -r \'setlocale(LC_TIME,
"nl_NL.utf8"); print strftime("%c\\n");\'');


Expected result:
----------------
locale -a:
