Question

Since PHP uses data from ICU in the intl extension, are there ways to get localized month names from within PHP?

While I can get the data from ICU’s xml files and extract them into my own set of files, I would much prefer a clean and easier solution if possible.

Finally, are there ways to get the date format (MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY), given the locale from the intl extension?

Answer 1

Could you use IntlDateFormatter::getPattern to get the pattern? I don’t know about strftime, but I would use the suggestion of formatting with a pattern MMMM to get the month name, through each month. Looks like php.intl doesn’t expose the data directly.
