#22453 [Opn->Bgs]: Incorrect display of date when locale set to Greek

ID: 22453 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: bendilas at otenet dot gr -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: WinXP - SP1 + Apache 2.0.43 PHP Version: 4.3.2-dev New Comment: PHP just wraps around the system provided strftime() function. If win32 provided one returns wrong data, the bug is there..

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22453&edit=1
