Time and Date

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
