php - change month name to french

Question

I have this code:

<?php 
  echo "'".$sgps_newsletter->getEmail()."' demande en ".date('d.M.Y', strtotime($sgps_newsletter->getCreatedAt())) 
?> 

but the month name is appering in english. What can I do to show it in french? I've change the settings.yml default culture to french, but nothing happens.

Answer 1

Use strftime : http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
echo strftime(" in French %d.%M.%Y and");

(not sure about that %d.%M.%Y but you can read documentation)
