Setting the locale to Greek using setlocale("LC_TIME", "GR") gets me a wrong display of date.

Specifically, the standard short date format in Greek is day/month/year but when I try echo strftime("%c") I get "2/27/2003" which is a month/day/year format.

Also, when I try echo strftime("%A, %e %B, %Y") I get "??????, ???????????, 2003" which has two errors:
1. %e doesn't have any effect so the day number isn't displayed at all
2. The correct format would have been "??????, 27 ???????????, 2003" which means that when there is a day number in front of a month, the month is displayed in genitive form (grammatically speaking).

The months in Greek are:
??????????
???????????
???????
????????
?????
???????
???????
?????????
???????????
?????????
?????????
??????????

Their genitive form (which should be used ONLY when formatting parameters "%e %B" are used side by side in that speficic order) is:

??????????
???????????
???????
????????
?????
???????
???????
?????????
???????????
?????????
?????????
??????????

Note: Windows XP in Control Panel> Regional and Language options displays the correct format under "Long date"

I tried the Windows snapshot but both errors remail still.

PHP just wraps around the system provided strftime() function. If win32 provided one returns wrong data, the
bug is there..
