Locale problems on Windows
  • I was having a bug with FuelPHP on Windows with IIS about concerning the following snippet of code in the frameworks fuel.php file on line 177.
    setlocale(LC_ALL, static::$locale) or
        logger(\Fuel::L_WARNING, 'The configured locale '.static::$locale.' is not installed on your system.', __METHOD__);
    The official PHP documentation agrees with the FuelPHP implementation and configuration, and works like a charm on Linux, however on Windows that’s not the case.
    http://php.net/setlocale
    On Windows the documentation wants the local sting to use – instead of _.
    For example, the call
    setlocale( LC_ALL, "en-US" );
    Instead of :
    For example, the call
    setlocale( LC_ALL, "en_US" ); (As is configured in FuelPHP)

    I’m not sure if this is a Windows issue or just “my PC,” however if I configure my application with locale to en-US, then it works. Otherwise with the default FuelPHP configuration I get a nasty error.

    So set the locale in your config?

    Windows uses non-standard locale strings, and Windows doesn't support UTF-8 in itself, so you'll always have to do something when working on Windows.
