[superDOS]

I want to get swedish dates insted of english. I've tried with setlocal and strftime but it doesn't work. pls could someone modify the code below so it will be swedish days and months.

<?php
if ( date("Ymd", $row['post_time']) == date("Ymd", $now) )
{
$date = "postat idag vid ";
$date .= date("G:i", $row['post_time']);
}
else if ( (date("Ymd", $row['post_time']) + 1) == date("Ymd") )
{
$date = "postat igår vid ";
$date .= date("G:i", $row['post_time']);
}
else
{
$date = "postat ";
$date .= date("l, j F, Y \a\\t G:i", $row['post_time']) ;

i've tried with setlocal and strftime but it won't work.
i know it's possible to make some arrays. i even have code for it but don't know how to put it in the existing code.

<?php
$skrivUt = ""; // tömmer variabeln $skrivUt
$Day1 = array( 'Söndag', 'Måndag','Tisdag', 'Onsdag', 'Torsdag', 'Fredag', 'Lördag');
// en punkt före likamedstecknet betyder att variabeln ska fyllas på
$skrivUt .= "I dag är det " .$Day1[date('w')]. " den " .date("j/n Y"). "<BR>"; // notera punkternas läge
$sweMonth = array('Januari', 'Februari', 'Mars', 'April', 'Maj', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'Augusti', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'December');

?>

Try something like this:

<?PHP
$day = date("w");
$month = date("n")-1;

$sweDay = array('Söndag', 'Måndag','Tisdag', 'Onsdag', 'Torsdag', 'Fredag', 'Lördag');
$sweMonth = array('Januari', 'Februari', 'Mars', 'April', 'Maj', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'Augusti', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'December');

echo $sweDay[$day]." ".$sweMonth[$month];

?>

well it sort of worked but it prints the date of today and not the date when the post were posted. it's a blog you see.


$date = "Posted ";
$date .= date("l, F j, Y \v\i\d G:i", $row['post_time']);


will it work if you can get $sweDay[$day]." ".$sweMonth[$month]
into the code above?
or does anyone have more ideas?

Just input the timestamp...

<?PHP
$day = date("w", $row['post_time']);
$month = date("n", $row['post_time'])-1;

$sweDay = array('Söndag', 'Måndag','Tisdag', 'Onsdag', 'Torsdag', 'Fredag', 'Lördag');
$sweMonth = array('Januari', 'Februari', 'Mars', 'April', 'Maj', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'Augusti', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'December');

echo $sweDay[$day]." ".$sweMonth[$month];
?>
