[PHP] setlocale on OS X not working
Hi
I'm using following code:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'german');
$timestamp = time();
$string = strftime('Heute ist %A, der %d. %B %Y. Sie haben diese Seite
um %H Uhr %M aufgerufen.', $timestamp); # in english: today it's %A,
the %d. %B. %Y. You opened this page at %H:%M.
echo $string;
Which works nice on my ISP's Server. On my locale OS X Server it seems
like it wouldn't be able to translate it. I get the correct output but
in english instead of german. AFAIR I need to have some files to be
installed on my system for that function to work correct. Does someone
know where to get those files and where to put them in my system?
best regards
Stefan Rusterholz

Hi
Hiya
I'm using following code:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'german');
$timestamp = time();
$string = strftime('Heute ist %A, der %d. %B %Y. Sie haben diese Seite
um %H Uhr %M aufgerufen.', $timestamp); # in english: today it's %A,

echo $string;

The OSX machine doesn't have a definition for `german' but it probably
has one for en_US, for example. Try de or de_DE or de_DE.ISO8859-1
instead of `german' and see if you get what you'd expect. FYI, I've
never used OSX, so I'm flying blind.
AFAIR I need to have some files to be
installed on my system for that function to work correct. Does someone
know where to get those files and where to put them in my system?
On my system, charmaps in /usr/share/i18n/locales and definitions in
/usr/lib/locale, and I would use localedef to build definitions from the
charmaps (I think. I might have those directories reversed.).
I've never used (or seen) OSX, but does it use man? (I'm absolutely not
being a smarta$$ here). If it has man, look at the man pages for
`localedef' and `locale' and that may get you headed in the right
direction.

Thanks for your help, but it doesn't work either :-(

I did that. For localedef it hasn't an entry. But for locale it has one.
I don't think that's what you expectet (it seems to belong to perl)

NAME
locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for
built-in operations
SYNOPSIS
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
{
use locale;
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
}
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again
DESCRIPTION
This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the
use of POSIX locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for
regular expressions, and LC_COLLATE for string compari-
son). Each use locale or no locale affects statements
to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
See the perllocale manpage for more detailed information
on how Perl supports locales.
2000-03-30 perl v5.6.0
Perhaps this information helps you to help me further:
Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD 3.0 (AFAIR).

Re: [PHP] setlocale on OS X not working
Hm, as far as I see that package is for Aqua (the GUI of OS X) and not for the core (FreeBSD, *nix), so it won't help - and it is actually installed (I use OS X in a german enviroment because I'm swiss). Do you know where to get language packets for FreeBSD? That might work... Am Donnerstag den, 27.
