Hiya

date should use the current locale, instead of always returning dates in english

setlocale(LC_TIME, "nl_NL");
$temp = date("d M Y H:i", time()); //this still gives the english date
$temp = strftime("%d %b %Y %H:%M", time()); //this gives the correct, dutch date

Greetz,

Wico

From the manual:

 " To format dates in other languages, 
         you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions. "

you have been warned :)
