The date in French with PHP

Display the date with PHP? Nothing easier, as long as you want it in American format. If you want to display the date in French form, you'll need to use a tip for this result:

Nous sommes le : Mercredi 25 Novembre 2009

To obtain this result, simply insert this PHP script in the location where you want to display the date on your page:

<?
$jour["Monday"] = "Lundi";
$jour["Tuesday"] = "Mardi";
$jour["Wednesday"] = "Mercredi";
$jour["Thursday"] = "Jeudi";
$jour["Friday"] = "Vendredi";
$jour["Saturday"] = "Samedi";
$jour["Sunday"] = "Dimanche";

function getJour($day) {
return $jour[$day];
}

$mois["January"] = "Janvier";
$mois["Febrary"] = "Février";
$mois["March"] = "Mars";
$mois["April"] = "Avril";
$mois["May"] = "Mai";
$mois["June"] = "Juin";
$mois["July"] = "Juillet";
$mois["August"] = "Août";
$mois["September"] = "Septembre";
$mois["October"] = "Octobre";
$mois["November"] = "Novembre";
$mois["December"] = "Décembre";

function getMois($month){
return $mois[$month];
}

$month = Date(F);

$day = Date(l);

getJour($day);
getMois($month);

print "Nous sommes le : <B>";
print "$jour[$day] ";
print Date(d)." ";
print "$mois[$month] ";
print Date(Y);
print "</B>";

?>

You can easily personalize this script by changing the layout of your date. To do this, simply modify the two print instructions used to insert the HTML layout code (print "Nous sommes le : <B>"; and print "</B>";)
