English to OTHER_LANG

[webdev23]

Does PHP natively support multi-language support or will a costume function be necessary to achieve the following:

$vDate = fnDate();

This function returns a date string: Friday, February 2, 2007.

I want a function to return a Spanish version of the above text to something like this: Viernes, 02 de Febrero de 2007

Help?

look at the user contributed notes in this page http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache😮Fe8cMf8_jsJ:php.net/date+date+different+language&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=uk&client=firefox-a for an example how to do this..:

With strftime() you can output it in german like this:
<?php
// Set the gloabal LC_TIME constant to german
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE');
// Little bit other Syntax but better effect
echo strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y'); //Output: Mittwoch, 07. September 2005
?>
