...which is pitty, and as PHP is not an integral part of the hosting OS, it should (or at least could) implement a unifying (platform dependent) layer above the C-lib's setlocale(). I hoped it's clear I really did read the setlocale()'s doc from the text of the original post. I consulted the ISO it mentioned and...following it was a kind of failure to me. My fault, I've to learn English better. Maybe it's time to fork&reclassify (and reopen) this BR to docs issue and feature request...? Thx for your Re: anyway. Have a nice day, H. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-10 13:12:09] [email protected] Locales are OS issue, not PHP issue. We don't have control over what OS might or might not support. Read more at http://php.net/setlocale "Different systems have different naming schemes for locales." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-10 10:43:11] jchochola at demsys dot cz Description: ------------ setlocale( LC_ALL, 'Czech' ) does not work in my ISP's environment; one has to use lowercase 'czech' instead. The ISO639 (mentioned in setolcale() docs) lists country names with capitalized first letters, ie. setlocale() should accept 'Czech' or not to mention ISO639 at all. 'Czech' locale is OK under XAMPP used for local debugging. I can't imagine why such functions should use case-sensitive string params. Reproduce code: --------------- //--- //From manual page: function.setlocale //--- function e( $s ) { eval( '$r = '.$s.';' ); echo $s, ' returns ', $r ? 'true (\''.$r.'\')' : 'false', "\n"; } e( "setlocale( LC_ALL, 'Czech' )" ); e( "setlocale( LC_ALL, 'czech' )" ); Expected result: ---------------- setlocale( LC_ALL, 'Czech' ) returns true ('Czech') setlocale( LC_ALL, 'czech' ) returns true ('czech') Actual result: -------------- setlocale( LC_ALL, 'Czech' ) returns false setlocale( LC_ALL, 'czech' ) returns true ('czech') ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49520&edit=1
