You need to translate the week-days and month names in your local language.
class local_date {
var $week_day;
var $day;
var $month;
var $year;
function local_date() { //constructor
$this->week_day = date("l");
$this->day = date("j");
$this->month = date("n");
$this->year = date("Y");
}
//translate in local language
function get_day() {
$nl_day = array("Monday" => "Maandag", "Tuesday" => "Dinsdag", "Wednesday" => "Woensdag", "Thursday" => "Donderdag", "Friday" => "Vrijdag", "Saturday" => "Zaterdag", "Sunday" => "Zondag");
return $nl_day[$this->week_day];
}
function get_month() {
$nl_month = array("1" => "januari", "februari", "maart", "april", "mei", "juni", "juli", "augustus", "september", "october", "november", "december");
return $nl_month[$this->month];
}
function build_date() {
$long_date = $this->day." ".$this->get_month()." ".$this->year;
return $long_date;
}
}
// example for use
$my_date = new local_date;
echo $my_date->get_day().", ".$my_date->build_date();
// this will output "Woensdag, 7 juli 2004"
?>
