Question

php -r 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "ru"); echo date("F", time()), "\n";' prints "June" in English despite of the fact that I have set Russian locale.

Why does it not work as I need (with Russian month names)?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You will need to use strftime instead of date to format a date taking into account locale.
