Recipe 16.4 Setting the Default Locale
16.4.1 Problem
You want to set a locale that all your
PHP programs can use.
16.4.2 Solution
At the beginning of a file loaded by the
auto_prepend_file configuration directive, call
setlocale( ) to set your desired locale:
setlocale(LC_ALL,'es_US');
16.4.3 Discussion
Even if you set up appropriate environment variables before you start
your web server or PHP binary, PHP doesn't change
its locale until you call setlocale( ). After
setting
environment variable
LC_ALL to es_US, for example,
PHP still runs in the default C locale.
