Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-01 08:16:10] derick@php.net What does the call to setlocale() return? Was the locale sucesfully set? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-01 01:00:38] fixxxer at netvision dot net dot il Description: ------------ to check if setlocale (LC_ALL,"hebrew") works i tried printing the date in hebrew as well. the problem is wierd. the date is in hebrew, but regex still having problems with the hebrew. \w that suppose if the text contains legal chars (and _) works perfectly with english but makes problems with hebrew. if i ain't using setlocale he thinks that "÷" is not a char. if i do use setlocale he thinks that about all the hebrew letters. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php setlocale (LC_ALL,"hebrew"); $long_date = strftime("%A, %d %B %Y"); echo $long_date . "<br />"; $str = "òáøéú"; if (preg_match('/[^\w\s\-\.\@]/i',$str)) { print "wrong!"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- éåí ùìéùé, 01 éåðé 2004 Actual result: -------------- éåí ùìéùé, 01 éåðé 2004 wrong! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28596&edit=1
