PHP : Function Reference : i18n Functions : locale_set_default

locale_set_default

Set the default Locale ()
bool locale_set_default ( string name )

Example 908. A locale_set_default() example

This example demonstrates a possible usage of locale_set_default() to localize the sort() functions.

<?php

// the list of the strings to sort
$array = array(
   
'caramelo',
   
'cacto',
   
'caçada'
);

// set our locale (Portuguese, in this case)
locale_set_default('pt_PT');

// sort using the locale we previously set
sort($array, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);

print_r($array);
?>

The above example will output:

Array
(
   [0] => caçada
   [1] => cacto
   [2] => caramelo
)

If we didn't use the locale, PHP would sort the string using the ASCII characters value, thus returning (wrongly):

Array
(
   [0] => cacto
   [1] => caramelo
   [2] => caçada
)
