Depends on used distribution. On Debian locales are controlled with
'dpkg-reconfigure locales'. If you want the hard way, ask them to run
'localedef -i es_ES -f UTF-8 es_ES.UTF-8' and restart web service. They
will have to rerun same command after every glibc upgrade. You will have
to use 'setlocale(LC_ALL,'es_ES.UTF-8')' in PHP.
Maybe there are other Spanish system locales. If you have PHP 4.3 or
later, run other test script
----
<?php
$aLocales = array('es_ES.UTF-8', 'es_ES.UTF8',
'es_ES.ISO-8859-1', 'es_ES.ISO8859-1',
'es_ES.ISO-8859-15', 'es_ES.ISO8859-15',
'es_ES', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'es');
var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL,$aLocales));
----
Or use php-gettext classes
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext/) instead of gettext
extension.
