Question

I'm trying to write a function to display my date separated in French with the full name.

My post_meta (wordpress) return this :

array (size=3)
'date' => string '09/02/2017' (length=10)
'hours' => string '00' (length=2)
'minutes' => string '00' (length=2)

It's in french format d/m/y, I have tried strftime() with argument %B for locale full month display but I don't understand this function, it needs complete format date.

For example, when I type

$month = 02;
echo strftime("%B", $month);

the function return always "Janvier" (January in english)..

Anyone I have an idea for fix this and display day of week (letter) / day (number) and month (letter)?

Thanks.

strftime() requires a timestamp not just a number.

echo strftime("%B", time()+(60*60*24*10));  // now + 10 days to get into February

Or

$day = 1;
$month = 2;
$year = 2017;

$time = mktime(0, 0, 1, $month, $day, $year);
echo strftime("%B", $time);
