Re: [Phpwiki-talk] date output

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

win2000:

on cygwin (latest) all these date commands just do the C locale.

but php is better: 
I use the [2001-02-20] php4.0.5-dev testbranch (the second i guess, but locale
stuff didn't change) 
from the german binary download site http://www.mm4.de/php4win/.

<dl>
<dt>php version:</dt><dd><b><?php print phpversion()?></b></dd>
<dt>server api:</dt><dd><b><?php print function_exists("php_sapi_name") ?
php_sapi_name() : "unable to detect" ?></b></dd>
<dt>system:</dd><dd><b><?php print function_exists("php_uname") ? php_uname()
: "unable to detect" ?></b></dd>

<?php 
function testlctime ($loc) {
  setlocale ("LC_TIME", $loc); 
  echo "<dt>$loc:</dt><dd><b>";
  echo strftime ("%a., %d. %b %Y - %x %X", time());
  echo "</b></dd>";
}
testlctime ("de");      // wrong
testlctime ("de_AT");	// wrong
testlctime ("de_DE");	// wrong
testlctime ("deutsch");	// wrong
testlctime ("german");  // okay
?>
