Translating date

[picokojama]

Hi! I have one issue with date translating. Here is my code: <?php $day = date("l"); $daynum = date("j"); $month = date("M"); $year = date("Y"); if($day == "Monday"){ $day = "Ponedjeljak"; }elseif($day == "Tuesday"){ $day = "Utorak"; } /* etc, translating day */ if($month == "January"){ $month = "siječnja"; }elseif($month == "February"){ $month = "veljače"; } /* etc, translating month */ elseif($month == "December"){ $month = "prosinca"; } echo $day . ", " . $daynum . ". " . $month . " " . $year . "."; ?> Now, problem is: Why output is "Utorak, 11. Dec 2012." (there should be "Utorak, 11. prosinca 2012.")? It translated only day, but not month, although code for month is similar to code for day.

becouse your output is Dec not Decmber so specify condition for Dec also

in the documentation, it will show you what value you will be getting back from this line

$month = date("M");

http://php.net/manua...nction.date.php

M A short textual representation of a month, three letters JAN through DEC

so as in the previous post, you should be checking against the short representation. also, you might want to consider an array to do the mappings, so you don't have super long if/else conditionals, i.e.

$dayMapper =  array(  'Monday'  => 'Ponedjeljak','Tuesday'   => 'Utorak'); echo 'today is => ' + $dayMapper[date('l')]);
