[Dynapi-Dev] PHP deprecated setlocale usage messages on page

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

I think I (or any other project member) have the access to change the 
web page to fix the error messages.

Examples of the error messages:

Warning: setlocale(): Passing locale category name as string is 
deprecated. Use the LC_* -constants instead. in 
/home/groups/d/dy/dynapi/htdocs/dynapi/mainfile.php on line 240

Warning: setlocale(): Passing locale category name as string is 
deprecated. Use the LC_* -constants instead. in 
/home/groups/d/dy/dynapi/htdocs/dynapi/themes/Default/footer.php on line 
47

The files are on projects.sf.net.
The referenced files are in /home/groups/d/dy/dynapi/htdocs/dynapi .

./mainfile.php:240:     setlocale ("LC_TIME", "$locale");
./mainfile.php:284:             setlocale ("LC_TIME", "$locale");

Quoting the PHP manual:

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

setlocale -- Set locale information

Description

string setlocale ( mixed category, string locale [, string ...])

string setlocale ( mixed category, array locale)

category is a named constant (or string) specifying the category of the 
functions affected by the locale setting:

LC_ALL for all of the below
LC_COLLATE for string comparison, see strcoll()
LC_CTYPE for character classification and conversion, for example 
strtoupper()
LC_MONETARY for localeconv()
LC_NUMERIC for decimal separator (See also localeconv())
LC_TIME for date and time formatting with strftime()

Note: As of PHP 4.2.0, passing category as a string is deprecated, use 
the above constants instead. Passing them as a string (within quotes) 
will result in a warning message.

On 2004-12-21 projects.sf.net upgraded to php 4.3.10, so this is 
deprecated.

Example changes:

OLD:
./mainfile.php:240:     setlocale ("LC_TIME", "$locale");

NEW:
./mainfile.php:240:     setlocale (LC_TIME, "$locale");


Anyone have any objections to me going ahead to make these changes?
