copied!<p>Using <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>strftime()</code></a> in combination with <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>setlocale()</code></a> is an option.</p> <p>However you should be aware that on threaded php installs, <code>setlocale()</code> can behave unexpected, since locale information is maintained per process, not per thread. Therefor it is important to call <code>setlocale()</code> every time before each call to <code>strftime()</code> to guarantee it uses the correct locale.</p> <p>Also, for Windows systems, you need to use somewhat unusual strings for the <code>$locale</code> parameter for <code>setlocale()</code>.</p> <p>See the docs for more information on both of these issues.</p> <p>Something like this should work:</p> <pre><code>// define the locales for setlocale() for which we need the daynames $locales = array( 'en_EN', 'de_DE', 'nl_NL' // etc... ); // be aware that setlocale() needs different values on Windows machines // see the docs on setlocale() for more information $locales = array( 'english', 'german', 'dutch' // etc... ); // let's remember the current local setting $oldLocale = setlocale( LC_TIME, '0' ); // initialize out result array $localizedWeekdays = array(); // loop each locale foreach( $locales as $locale ) { // create sub result array for this locale $localizedWeekdays[ $locale ] = array(); // 7 days in a week for( $i = 0; $i < 7; $i++ ) { // set the locale on each iteration again setlocale( LC_TIME, $locale ); // combine strftime() with the nifty strtotime() $localizedWeekdays[ $locale ][] = strftime( '%A', strtotime( 'next Monday +' . $i . ' days' ) ); // reset the locale for other threads, as a courtesy setlocale( LC_TIME, $oldLocale ); } } // there is your result in a multi-dimensional array var_dump( $localizedWeekdays ); </code></pre>
