Question

Actually I’m using this:

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'it_IT');

$monthNames = array();
for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++)
{
    $monthNames[] = strftime('%B', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i));
}

Is there a simpler and nicer way to do this? Furthermore this doesn’t work well with the names of the days. Thank you.

Answer 1

$daysOfWeek = array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', ...);
foreach ($daysOfWeek as $day) {
    echo strftime('%A', strtotime("last $day")), "\n";
}

This is one way to do it, I suppose. I didn’t see any built-in functions for grabbing localized days of the week or months.
