Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-19 15:20:18] contact at zefxis dot gr The following returns "Saturday March". In other words there's no locale by the value of 'gr.UTF-8' on Windows XP (also tried 'el_GR.UTF-8'). Maybe it only exists on *nix systems. <?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); setlocale (LC_TIME, 'gr.UTF-8'); echo strftime("%A %B"); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-19 14:41:25] derick@php.net No bug, you need to set the greek UTF8 locale: gr.UTF-8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-19 10:17:09] contact at zefxis dot gr Description: ------------ The code below should display today's day and month in the Greek locale. All I get is a bunch of "?" for each letter of the words. If I remove the UTF-8 header I get the proper Greek words. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); setlocale (LC_TIME, 'gr'); echo strftime("%A %B"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- ÓÜââáôï ÌÜñôéïò Actual result: -------------- ??????? ??????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32372&edit=1
