#25697 [NEW]: Locale-specific formats of strftime() do not work

From: joho at webbplatsen dot se Operating system: SuSE Linux 8.x, 2.4.19-4GB kerne PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Locale-specific formats of strftime() do not work Description: ------------ After upgrading our system to PHP 4.3.2, setlocate() no longer seemed to have any effect. I later upgraded to PHP 4.3.3 but find the same problem present. No compile-time problems are reported. Uppercase/lowercase of Swedish national characters no longer works either. Reproduce code: --------------- Code from the PHP manual (fails): /* Set locale to Dutch */ setlocale (LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); /* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */ echo strftime ("%A %e %B %Y", mktime (0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978)); /* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */ $loc_de = setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge'); echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'"; Own code (fails): setlocale (LC_ALL, 'sv_SV'); return ( ucfirst (strftime ("%a")) . " " . date ("Y-m-d") . " ". "V." . strftime ("%V") ); Expected result: ---------------- Own code should result in this: Tis 2003-09-30 V.40 (if run on 2003-09-30, that is ;) Actual result: -------------- Tue 2003-09-30 V.40 And no, I am not certain I have not done something wrong, but since this behavior changed after we installed 4.3.2.. ??? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25697&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25697&r=float
