DateTime/DateTimeZone - Format a timestamp using locale?

    So I discovered the wonders of DateTime and DateTimeZone but must have overlooked one critical problem - I cannot see how to use the current locale to format a timestamp!

    For example, today I would like to say its "Mars" (french), not "March".

    How can I do that with these classes?

    Use fr_FR as the locale paremeter, when formating the date, or you could also do:

    <?php

$date = date("F", time());

//don't have to use preg_replace - could be done using str_replace (simpler) but i prefer using preg_replace.
$date = preg_replace('~January~', 'Janvier', $date);

$date = preg_replace('~March~', 'Mars', $date);
//and continue the months...

echo $date;
?>
