locale_set_default
Set the default Locale
()
bool locale_set_default ( string name )
Sets the default Locale for PHP programs. Please note that this has nothing to do with setlocale() nor with the system locale.
Parameters
- name
The new Locale name. A comprehensive list of the supported locales is available at » http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp.
Examples
Example 908. A locale_set_default() example
This example demonstrates a possible usage of locale_set_default() to localize the sort() functions.
<?php
// the list of the strings to sort
$array = array(
'caramelo',
'cacto',
'caзada'
);
// set our locale (Portuguese, in this case)
locale_set_default('pt_PT');
// sort using the locale we previously set
sort($array, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);
print_r($array);
?>The above example will output:
Array
(
[0] => caзada
[1] => cacto
[2] => caramelo
)If we didn't use the locale, PHP would sort the string using the ASCII characters value, thus returning (wrongly):
Array
(
[0] => cacto
[1] => caramelo
[2] => caзada
)
