From the PHP Manual:
So in your case it returns false because the system returns false. It is likely that the locale you’re using is not available on your system.
A list of
setlocalestrings supported by Windows is available here. For British English you wanteng,english-uk, oruk. Windows doesn’t support multi-byte character sets like UTF-8 though; you will probably end up with Windows-1252.
