[PHP-DEV] [PATCH] new function for real local date

[ruud.bakker]

As there is no function for getting a real local date for day names and month 
names, I wrote a function for that. Maybe an option for a new PHP version?

<?php

function localdate(string $format, int $timestamp, string $locale) {
    
    $oldlocale = setlocale(LC_TIME, 0);
    setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);

    $date = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($format); $i++) {

        $char = substr($format, $i, 1);
        switch ($char) {
            case 'D':
                $date .= strftime('%a', $timestamp);
                break;
            case 'l':
                $date .= strftime('%A', $timestamp);
                break;
            case 'M':
                $date .= strftime('%b', $timestamp);
                break;
            case 'F':
                $date .= strftime('%B', $timestamp);
                break;
            default:
                $date .= date($char, $timestamp);
                break;
        }
    }

    setlocale(LC_TIME, $oldlocale);

    return $date;
}

?>


with kind regards,
