problem with local date

[olaf]

Hello,

i'm trying this date on my (local)machine:

<?php
if ($HTTP_HOST == "localhost") {
	setlocale (LC_ALL, "nld_nld"); 
} else {
	setlocale (LC_ALL, "nl_NL");
}
$now = strtotime("now");
echo $datum = strftime("%A %e %B %Y", $now);
?>

the day is (on windows) empty. If i use a "d" in place of an "e" it works well.

Hi Olaf,

This is in the manual ...

Note: Not all conversion specifiers may be supported by your C library, in which case they will not be supported by PHP's strftime(). Additionally, not all platforms support negative timestamps, therefore your date range may be limited to no earlier than the Unix epoch. This means that e.g. %e, %T, %R and %D (there might be more) and dates prior to Jan 1, 1970 will not work on Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other operating systems. For Windows systems a complete overview of supported conversion specifiers can be found at this MSDN website.

Paul.
