It just so happens that I wrote some code just the other week for another customer who needed to convert other way round! Please check that my translations are correct
<?php // create the conversion arrays in the global scope // days $gb_d = array("mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat","sun"); $nl_d = array("ma", "di", "wo", "do", "vr", "za", "zo"); // months $gb_m = array("jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dec"); $nl_m = array("jan","feb","mrt","apr","mei","jun","jul","aug","sep","okt","nov","dec"); function myRecordHandler($record) { // bring in the translation arrays from the global scope in your record handler function global $nl_d,$nl_m,$gb_d,$gb_m; // make a copy of the original PUBDATE from the feed, and convert to lower case $pubdate = strtolower($record["PUBDATE"]); // translate the days $pubdate = str_replace($gb_d,$nl_d,$pubdate); // translate the months $pubdate = str_replace($gb_m,$nl_m,$pubdate); // use ucwords() to convert back to correct case $pubdate = ucwords($pubdate); // now you can use $pubdate, hopefully it will be in Dutch! } ?>
Hello Ron,
It just so happens that I wrote some code just the other week for another customer who needed to convert other way round! Please check that my translations are correct
<?php// create the conversion arrays in the global scope
// days
$gb_d = array("mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat","sun");
$nl_d = array("ma", "di", "wo", "do", "vr", "za", "zo");
// months
$gb_m = array("jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dec");
$nl_m = array("jan","feb","mrt","apr","mei","jun","jul","aug","sep","okt","nov","dec");
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
// bring in the translation arrays from the global scope in your record handler function
global $nl_d,$nl_m,$gb_d,$gb_m;
// make a copy of the original PUBDATE from the feed, and convert to lower case
$pubdate = strtolower($record["PUBDATE"]);
// translate the days
$pubdate = str_replace($gb_d,$nl_d,$pubdate);
// translate the months
$pubdate = str_replace($gb_m,$nl_m,$pubdate);
// use ucwords() to convert back to correct case
$pubdate = ucwords($pubdate);
// now you can use $pubdate, hopefully it will be in Dutch!
}

All the best,
David.
