(PHP 3, PHP 4 )
date_lang -- Format a local time/date with the language you want.
Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the
given integer timestamp or the current local time
if no timestamp is given. In otherwords, timestamp
is optional and defaults to the value of time().
Note:
The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec
1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are
the dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for
a 32-bit signed integer). On windows this range is limited from
01-01-1970 to 19-01-2038.
To generate a timestamp from a string representation of the date, you
may be able to use strtotime(). Additionally, some
databases have functions to convert their date formats into timestamps
(such as MySQL's UNIX_TIMESTAMP
function).
You MUST initialise the variables $_SESSION["date_lang"]["language"] and $_SESSION["date_lang"]["lang_dir"] for selecting the language before any call of date_lang fonction.
For example :
$_SESSION["date_lang"]["language"]="fr";
$_SESSION["date_lang"]["lang_dir"]="/var/www/html/langfiles/";
date_lang("d m Y");
date_lang("l",1054115595);
...
