#22453 [NEW]: Incorrect display of date when locale set to Greek

From: bendilas at otenet dot gr Operating system: WinXP - SP1 + Apache 2.0.43 PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: Incorrect display of date when locale set to Greek Setting the locale to Greek using setlocale("LC_TIME", "GR") gets me a wrong display of date. Specifically, the standard short date format in Greek is day/month/year but when I try echo strftime("%c") I get "2/27/2003" which is a month/day/year format. Also, when I try echo strftime("%A, %e %B, %Y") I get "ÐÝìðôç, ÖåâñïõÜñéïò, 2003" which has two errors: 1. %e doesn't have any effect so the day number isn't displayed at all 2. The correct format would have been "ÐÝìðôç, 27 Öåâñïõáñßïõ, 2003" which means that when there is a day number in front of a month, the month is displayed in genitive form (grammatically speaking). The months in Greek are: ÉáíïõÜñéïò ÖåâñïõÜñéïò ÌÜñôéïò Áðñßëéïò ÌÜéïò Éïýíéïò Éïýëéïò Áýãïõóôïò ÓåðôÝìâñéïò Ïêôþâñéïò ÍïÝìâñéïò ÄåêÝìâñéïò Their genitive form (which should be used ONLY when formatting parameters "%e %B" are used side by side in that speficic order) is: Éáíïõáñßïõ Öåâñïõáñßïõ Ìáñôßïõ Áðñéëßïõ ÌáÀïõ Éïõíßïõ Éïõëßïõ Áõãïýóôïõ Óåðôåìâñßïõ Ïêôùâñßïõ Íïåìâñßïõ Äåêåìâñßïõ Note: Windows XP in Control Panel> Regional and Language options displays the correct format under "Long date" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22453&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22453&r=gnused
