setlocale/strftime issue
- by Manos Dilaverakis
I am using the following to output the full name of a month in Greek.
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'el_GR');
strftime("%B");
This works, except the output string is ISO-8859-7 (greek code page), which is a problem since I need a UTF-8 string. I could put this through iconv to convert it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do that without resorting to an extra function.
Could you somehow tell strftime to output a UTF-8 string in this case?
