Date month language

[ruckus]

$today = getdate();
$month = $today['month'];
echo $month;

Does anybody know how I can get mysql and php to give me the month in a different language? Basically can I get it to print the month in Danish directly from the database, without me telling my program that January is spelt Januar in Danish?

Thanks

setlocale();
strftime();

Life is good.

[ruckus]

setlocale(LC_ALL, "da_DK");
$theDate = getdate();
$monthtest = $theDate["month"];
echo $monthtest;

This should give me the month in danish right?, but it still shows the month in English.

Thanks for the reply

Ok, I found out that I also need to use:

strftime

All is working well

thanks
