Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-06 11:59:54] nlopess@php.net The date() function doesn't work with locales. The month names are hardcoded in the sources. I'm not sure if Derick will change this, but let him speak :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-05 21:00:44] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip And check that you have this locale first with: locale -a | grep nl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-05 20:56:52] wim dot delvaux at adaptiveplanet dot com Description: ------------ setlocale used from apache module seems to work however using the same setlocale setlocale( LC_TIME, 'nl_NL' ); in a php script started from the command line does not work (i.e. month names are not NL but remain EN Reproduce code: --------------- <?php setlocale( LC_TIME, 'nl_NL' ); print( date('F')."\n" ); ?> produces August and not Augustus Expected result: ---------------- Should output Augustus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34013&edit=1
