note 27349 added to function.strftime

The provided example is very bad for newbies. Why does setlocale with "C" print out a date in english? Why is this not even documented on the setlocale page? Why is the example text inserted into the strftime function? Such hacks are a sure way to confuse a lot of people. Examples should be as simple as possible. Remember that people are here because they don't know everything but would like to know. So if you are a newbie like me, here is the same example, formatted differently, so that you may understand it more easily: echo "The current time with your standard settings is: "; setlocale (LC_TIME, "C"); // C stands for "standard settings" echo strftime ("%A"); echo " in finnish: "; setlocale (LC_TIME, "fi_FI"); echo strftime ("%A"); echo " in french: "; setlocale (LC_TIME, "fr_FR"); echo strftime ("%A"); echo " in german: "; setlocale (LC_TIME, "de_DE"); echo strftime ("%A"); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27349 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27349 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27349
