In response to the note supplied by "Arpad Borsos":
I think the whole truth is that the output of strftime() considers whatever you stated with
setlocale().
<?php
/* Berlin is in Germany */
$locale = setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8');
/* Output: Donnerstag, 23. März 2006 (and hopefully UTF-8 ;) */
echo strftime ("%A, %d. %B %Y", strtotime('2006-03-23'));
/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8', 'de_DE.UTF-8@euro',
'de_DE');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$locale'";
?>
Check the documentation of setlocale() for more.
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8') always worked fine for me.
