Description:
------------
setlocale used from apache module seems to work   
however using the same setlocale   
   
setlocale( LC_TIME, 'nl_NL' );   
   
in a php script started from the command line   
does not work (i.e. month names are not NL but remain EN   

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

    setlocale( LC_TIME, 'nl_NL' );

    print( date('F')."\n" );

?>

produces

August

and not

Augustus

Expected result:
----------------
Should output Augustus

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

And check that you have this locale first with:
locale -a | grep nl

The date() function doesn't work with locales. The month names are hardcoded in the sources.
I'm not sure if Derick will change this, but let him speak :)

date() never supported locale aware month names, use strftime() for that.
