note 94399 added to function.strftime

This is that worked with UTF-8 encoding on Linux server, with right accents: <?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'hu_HU.UTF8'); echo(strftime('%Y. %B %d. %A')); ?> Output is: 2009. november 02. hétfő Also, this one can be used, if not utf-8 preferred: <?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'hu_HU.ISO8859-2'); ?> UTF-8 is not supported on windows platforms, so there the iconv workaround must be used: <?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'hun_hun'); echo(iconv('ISO-8859-2', 'UTF-8',strftime('%Y. %B %d. %A'))); ?> The output is the same as before. Note that, the iconv first parameter is ISO-8859-2 not ISO-8859-1, because the locale is hungarian which uses 8859-2 codepage as default. It is needed for the right accents. If you want use the same code for Windows and Linux platforms, the second one is the right option (the iconv trick), but the locale configuration must be different (Linux: hu_HU, windows: hun_hun), but in that case the UTF8 tag is not needed for the Linux config. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 86.101.80.73 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94399 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94399 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94399 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
