current date in different languages

[e-man]

I use this snippet of php to put the current date on a HTML page:
[code]<?php
$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
echo $today;
?>  [/code]
which gives me March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm (in English)
Is there any way of doing this in Spanish and German as well, I mean have the name of the month appear in Spanish or German?
Any help welcome!

PS the server this runs on only has php 4.1 if this helps...

From the manual:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date(). [/quote]

Thanks, I searched the php docs for those functions and tried this snippet:
[code]<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'es_ES@euro');
echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y");
?>[/code]

On my own server (php 4.3.1) it works as it should (i.e. I get the date in Spanish martes 02 mayo 2006), on the test server (php 4.1) nothing happens.
Even running this snippet:
[code]<?php
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>
[/code]

on the test server gives nothing. I'm assuming I need at least 4.3, anyone know if this is a known issue?
