Time Date different languages

[dmaxey]

I have a time and date using the code

 

echo date("l jS \of F Y H:i:s.");

 

Now I need to show this in several different languages, including French German and Dutch

 

I have tried setlocale();

and echo strftime

 

The date shows but still in English.

Any idea how to show the day date and time in Php for the languages suggested.

In the help for date() function http://ru.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php it's written "To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date(). "

Thanks for your reply. I have been there before and struggled to understand.

I have tried this  but just shows jS \of F Y H:i:s.  instead of  Woensdag 28 december 2011 13:49:28.

<?php

/* Set locale to Dutch */

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');

echo strftime("l jS \of F  Y H:i:s.");

?>

Will you give me further advice?

Read the documentation? http://be2.php.net/strftime

Right I have

<?php

setlocale(LC_Time, 'nld_nld');

$dutch= strftime("%A %d %B %Y - %H:%M",time());

echo $dutch;

?>

which shows

woensdag 28 december 2011 - 15:36 on my wamp server. When I put it online it shows

Wednesday 28 December 2011 - 15:50

Where, exactly, am I going wrong

Finally found a way to do this. My wamp server is obviously windows but my web host is Linux.

So this goes before the head

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/madrid');

setlocale(LC_ALL, array('es.UTF-8','es_ES@euro','es_ES','spanish'));

?>

and this goes in the body

<?php

$spanish= strftime("%A %d %B %Y - %H:%M",time());

echo $spanish;

?>

Just change country identifiers for different ones.
