Bug description: strftime() randomly do not use setlocale()
Description:
------------
Hello,
Finally I decide to submit here a problem that I obtain with PHP from a
lot of years. So I have had this problem with PHP 4.x and Windows 2000
(IIS 5.0) and yet with PHP 5.x and Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6.0).
My problem is related to the function strftime() which I use to display
dates in my language (French). Sometimes, dates are displayed in French
like I want and sometimes dates are displayed in English without any
modification of the code. If I refresh the same page 20 times, per
exemple, the date will be in English 2 or 3 times and in French the rest
of the times. It's very strange and I do not understand why! It just seems
to be a bug, no?
For setting the local time, I use setlocale(LC_ALL,"fra"); (I tried also
setlocale(LC_ALL,"fr_FR"); and other variants). The function
setlocale(LC_ALL,"fra"); is present in an included file which is ever
called at the top of the page.
In the release notes of PHP 5.1, I seen that a new parameter in the
php.ini has been added to set the time zone (I set it to Europe/Paris). I
hoped it's will help me to resolve the problem but not :-(
I seen other persons that have problems with setlocale() and included
files. Do you know if it is a PHP bug or a problem in my scripts?
Thanks
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo (strftime("%A %d %B %Y",$timestamp_from_database->date));
