We know that date(“F”) will echo “January” if we are in January and so on. So what if we wanted to echo the current month in Greek (January = Ιανουάριος)?

The following code snipped will say everything it needs to:
setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘greek’);
echo strftime(“%B”); //Ιανουάριος

Note: On some windows systems the above code won’t work so you may want to try:
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ‘greek’);
setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘greek’);
echo strftime(“%B”); //Ιανουάριος
