setlocale() kills site

**Paul Lautman** · May 10 '06, 09:45 AM

Last night I had a web site. This morning it was returning nothing. I traced
it to a call to setlocale(). It appears that something has happened that
means that any call to setlocale completely kills the site, including
dumping anything that is in the output buffer.
Take a look at http://www.osg-uk.com/st.php and
http://www.osg-uk.com/sts.php the contents of which are shown below.

Anyone got any ideas?

st.php:

<body>
<?php
echo '1';
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "C");
echo ' '.strftime ("%A");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "fi_FI");
echo ' '.strftime (" in Finnish is %A,");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "fr_FR");
echo ' '.strftime (" in French %A and");
//setlocale(LC_TI ME, "de_DE");
echo ' '.strftime (" in German %A.\n");
?>
</body>
</html>
