note 90693 added to function.strftime

In response to eljaunis and khaled, your way to convert the charset is surely working. But if you are on Linux and you can build your locales, you can simply run the following commands (as root): # echo 'ar.UTF8 UTF8' >> /etc/locale.gen # /usr/sbin/locale-gen Then, in your PHP: <?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ar.UTF8'); strftime('%A %d de %B de %Y', time()) ?> And it will work in UTF8. If you are on Windows, I really don't know.
