Datetime Problems | Laravel.io

posted 10 years ago

Hey guys,

I want to print my model's created_at value in different languages. I google'd this subject alot, and couldn't find a way of doing this.

I want to print my created_at value like 1 May 2001 and 1 Mdjasj 2001 (Mdjasj is May for another language).

Here's one of my tests:

Route::get('debug', function()
{
	setlocale(LC_TIME, "C");
	echo strftime("%A");
	setlocale(LC_TIME, "fi_FI");
	echo strftime(" in Finnish is %A,");
	setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
	echo strftime(" in French %A and");
	setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");
	echo strftime(" in German %A.\n");
});

However, this does not work at all. Or this one,

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'German');                     
echo $dt->formatLocalized('%A %d %B %Y');          // Donnerstag 25 Dezember 1975
setlocale(LC_TIME, '');                           
echo $dt->formatLocalized('%A %d %B %Y');          // Thursday 25 December 1975

These examples are from google, and they don't work.

Can you help me find a way?

Thank you very much.

I dont understand your question.
but I use
begin of routes.php

setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES.UTF-8");

and in views:

{{ ucwords(strftime("%A, %d %B %Y - %H:%M",strtotime($comentario->created_at))) }}

I think it also depends of your system locale (linux)

javi@desarrollo:/var/www/laravel$ locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
javi@desarrollo:/var/www/laravel$
