what I really want is a client's browser locale. For example
general.userage nt.locale setting in Firefox. Can I get this RFC1766 from
user's browser in PHP somehow without using Javascript?

HTTP_ACCEPT_LAN GUAGE header in the request, which may or may not be sent.

I have set general.userage nt.locale to "en" in Firefox but what I get
from $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE"] is "pl,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0 .3"

from $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE"] is "pl,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0 .3"
(tools->options->advanced->languages->Choose.. ). That's how I come by
fairly large:
Accept-Language: en-gb,en;q=0.8,nl; q=0.7,nl-be;q=0.5,de;q=0 .3,fr;q=0.2
It might help if you told us what the locale is going to be used for? I
guessed for determening the language of the user, but I might be wrong..
And the users themselves might not have it set correctly offcourse.
Standard for most browsers is using the language of the OS as default on
install however, so normally it would be pretty reliable.

(with q=1, so omitted, choose the highest q), would be the preferred
language as set in the browser. If users haven't touched it, it's usually
follows the locale they've set. If they have, they usually know what
they're doing.
Localized on location/region, or language? HTTP_ACCEPT_LAN GUAGE is onlyYes that's right, I want to find out user locale settings to show>It might help if you told us what the locale is going to be used for?I

usefull for language, in other cases you'll have to look into stuff like
GeoIP.

machine's locale. The client machine's locale is sometimes given in the
HTTP User-Agent header, but not always.
The Accept-Language header shows the client's preferred language. This may
not always be the same as the machine's locale. Say, for example, that the
user is fluent in Flemish, he might set Flemish to be his first choice of
Accept-Language, but his machine's locale may be French, because no
Flemish translation of the software is available.
Note that you don't always have to pick the first language on the list.
Say for example, I have a site that's in English; I've made a French
translation using an automatic service, but I'm under no illusions about
the quality of the translation. If a user comes along with a header like
this:
Accept-Language: fr
I'd probably serve up the poorly translated French version, with my
apologies. But if the header was like this:
Accept-Language: fr, en
I might send the English version, because even though the visitor prefers
French, I know my translation'sno t up to scratch.
(Note that Apache is able to deal make these decisions itself. You just
tell it which translations of the content are available, and of what
quality they each are, and it will make the choice which version to serve.)
