$locale='de_CH.ISO_8859-1'; // Alternate: 'de_DE.ISO_8859-1' 

setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);

[PHP] German Date - GMDATE Function

2003-10-22 Thread Steve Vernon 
Hello,

When I use the gmdate function, I get the English date, e.g. October. Is it
possible to get the date in German or another language? I really need the
server setting up so that it can handle different languages.

I suppose I could get the month as a number, and then convert the number,
but this seems a bit tacky!

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have tried to look at the German mannual, but I think they use the same
calls to gmdate, and that PHP is different. Is this so? How would I get
around this?

I don't know much, if any, German, so would need to use the English PHP.

THANKS!

Steve

What you want is:

  http://php.net/strftime
 
It uses your locale setting to display the proper language for days
of the week and months.

http://php.net/setlocale
