Description:
------------
After upgrading our system to PHP 4.3.2, setlocate() no longer seemed to have any effect. I later upgraded to PHP 4.3.3 but find the same problem present. No compile-time problems are reported.

Uppercase/lowercase of Swedish national characters no longer works either.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Code from the PHP manual (fails):

/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');

/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime ("%A %e %B %Y", mktime (0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";

Own code (fails):

        setlocale (LC_ALL, 'sv_SV');
        return
            (
            ucfirst (strftime ("%a")) .
            " " .
            date ("Y-m-d") .
            " ".
            "V." .
            strftime ("%V")
            );



Expected result:
----------------
Own code should result in this:

Tis 2003-09-30 V.40

(if run on 2003-09-30, that is ;)


Actual result:
--------------
Tue 2003-09-30 V.40

And no, I am not certain I have not done something wrong, but since this behavior changed after we installed 4.3.2.. ???

Try

$ locale -a | grep "sv_SV"

to see if your system supports that locale.

Locale names differ from system to system. 
Given the correct one for your system will give correct results. Not PHP bug.
