PHP

setlocale(LC_ALL, "russian");
  $day = strftime('%d');

What is the problem?

Answer 1

I solved the problem with this design...

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'russian');
$mon = strftime('%B');
$mon = iconv('windows-1251', 'utf-8', $mon);

Answer 2

setlocale(LC_ALL, "ru_RU.UTF-8");

Answer 3

setlocale('LC_TIME' , 'ru_RU.utf8')

Answer 4

1) installed php encoding.
2) the installed Apache encoding, or whatever you have on the return.
3) script file encoding.
4) browser encoding.
5) lack of locale.
the first 4 points must match. Then you will never have problems with "krakozyabry".
