Hướng dẫn php date translate

I have this MySQL query, which returns two dates (which are both formatted as a-m-Y). Now I want to translate this date into my own language (Danish). How can I do that. I have tried both the setlocale() and strftime() functions, but it won't work. I know it's a very basic question, but i really need help :) Thanks a lot!

Use setlocale and strftime together:

setlocale(LC_TIME, array('da_DA.UTF-8','[email protected]','da_DA','danish'));
echo strftime("%A"); // outputs 'tirsdag'

Works on my php installation on Windows.

strftime(): Warning! This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.1.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

I found that setlocale isn't reliable, as it is set per process, not per thread (the manual mentions this). This means other running scripts can change the locale at any time. A solution is using IntlDateFormatter from the intl php extension.

• Install intl if necesarry (ubuntu): sudo apt-get install php5-intl

• Install the locale you want to use (I'm using italian as an example): sudo locale-gen it_IT

• Generate a locally formatted date:

$fmt = new \IntlDateFormatter('it_IT', NULL, NULL);
$fmt->setPattern('d MMMM yyyy HH:mm'); 
// See: http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime for pattern syntax
echo $fmt->format(new \DateTime()); 
// Output: 6 gennaio 2016 12:10

I don't think the date() function is quite evolved enough for you, here.

Instead, I would recommend you take a look at the IntlDateFormatter1 class (quoting) :

Date Formatter is a concrete class that enables locale-dependent formatting/parsing of dates using pattern strings and/or canned patterns.

There are a couple of examples on the manual page of IntlDateFormatter::format(), where that method is used to display a date in two different languages, by just setting the desired locale.

This Will Surely works for you if you want norwegian date and month format

$date = '2016-11-16 05:35:14';
setlocale(LC_TIME, array('nb_NO.UTF-8','[email protected]','nb_NO','norwegian'));
echo strftime("%e %b %Y",strtotime($date));

if you want to get other language locale ids like nb_NO then refer this site International Components for Unicode (ICU) Data

If you are trying to convert a datetime try this:

$fecha = $dateConsulta->format('d-M-Y');  
$fecha = str_replace('Jan','Ene',$fecha);
$fecha = str_replace('Apr','Abr',$fecha);
$fecha = str_replace('Aug','Ago',$fecha);
$fecha = str_replace('Dec','Dic',$fecha);

" .strftime("%B", $premier->getTimestamp()). "

        " 
        .$row['title']. "

Ok I modified the code to show all of it and also inserted the suggestions and now it works just fine!! Perfect

First off make sure that indeed fr_FR is installed on the machine for your script to use.

Try to use locale -a on your terminal to check.

Second, since DateTime only works on english, use strftime() on that, and you're using it without the timestamp.

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
$premier = new DateTime($row['project_date']);
echo "
