set time zone and print day and date in PHP 4

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to set the local time zone and write it out in this format in PHP 4 (my server is using PHP 4.4.4).

I have PHP 5 on my local machine and was originally using the following code, which worked fine!

[code=php]
date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/Berlin’);
// Set the gloabal LC_TIME constant to german for the purpose of the date
setlocale(LC_ALL, “de_DE”, “de_DE@euro”, “deu”, “deu_deu”, “german”);
[/code]

However, it is not supported in PHP 4.

I’ve looked in “putenv”, but it does not change the day value, i.e. from Sunday to Sonntag.

English Version: Sunday, 04. November 2007
German Version: Sonntag, 04. November 2007

Any help is much appreiated,
Picco

@crmpiccoauthorNov 04.2007 — Thanks, was there no way to do this in PHP 4? Seems strange, also seems like something that people would do regularly. I've also been told that PHP 4 ends in a month or so?

I've dropped a support ticket into my host to see if they are upgrading to PHP 5.
