Doc Bug #24518 strftime() output not translated after setlocale()
Submitted: 2003-07-06 23:56 UTC Modified: 2003-07-08 14:35 UTC

Description:
------------
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'es_ES');
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y");
?>

works fine on Debian, but fails on Windows 2000 SP2.

gettext() *does* work in Windows though, so I know it's not a configuration issue (i.e., extension=php_gettext.dll).

I've tested this with both php 5.0.0 and php 4.3.2.

Cheers,

Ross

The locale names are not same under windows.
Use 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "spanish");' instead.
(that works fine for me under Windows XP and RH Linux)

Making this documentation issue.
