Question

Hi I have a date format like this

(in English format)

 15. July 2011

And I want to convert it in German format like this

15. Juli 2011

How to convert date format from one laguage to other language format?

My Code is

 $date = '15. July 2011';
 $newLocale = setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE');
 $date = strftime('%d. %B %Y',$date);

But this is not converting I am getting July rather than Juli

Answer 1

You could use setlocale function before calling date function:

$newLocale = setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE', 'de_DE.UTF-8');

EDIT: Quote from strftime docs:

This example will work if you have the respective locales installed in your system.
