In theory, you can install the locale language in your home dir: /path/to/your/homedir/locale/es_ES* then set the environment to look there instead: setenv('PATH_LOCALE', '/path/to/your/homedir'); and then the setlocale and strftime should work. Of course this is theory. Curt -- "My PHP key is worn out" PHP List stats since 1997: http://zirzow.dyndns.org/html/mlists/
