Question

I have this code

<table class="table table-hover table-bordered table-condensed  lista-clientes table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed">
        <thead>
           <tr>
              <th>
                 <center>IP Address</center>
              </th>
              <th>
                 <center>Banned By</center>
              </th>
              <th>
                 <center>Reason</center>
              </th>
              <th>
                 <center>Banned On</center>
              </th>
              <th>
                 <center>Banned Until</center>
              </th>
           </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
           <?php 
           date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
           while($row = $retval->fetch_assoc()) { 
              if($row['banner'] == null) {
                 $row['banner'] = 'Console';
              }
              // <<-----------------Ban Date Converter------------>> //
              $timeEpoch = $row['time'];
              $timeConvert = $timeEpoch / 1000;
              $timeResult = date('F j, Y, g:i a', $timeConvert);
              // <<-----------------Expiration Time Converter------------>> //
              $expiresEpoch = $row['expires'];
              $expiresConvert = $expiresEpoch / 1000;
              $expiresResult = date('F j, Y, g:i a', $expiresConvert);
              ?>
           <tr>
              <td>
                 <?php
                    $ip = $row['ip'];

                    $array = explode(".", $ip);
                    $numbers = $array[0] . "." . $array[1] . "." . $array[2];
                    $numbers .= ".";

                    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($array[3]); $i++) {
                      $numbers .= "*";
                    }

                    echo $numbers;
                    ?>
              </td>
              <td><?php echo $row['banner'];?></td>
              <td style="width: 30%;"><?php echo $row['reason'];?></td>
              <td><?php echo $timeResult;?></td>
              <td><?php if($row['expires'] == 0) {
                 echo 'ETERNO';
                 } else {
                 echo $expiresResult; }?></td>
           </tr>
           <?php }
              $conn->close();
              echo "</tbody></table>";
              ?>

However I want to leave the date, schedules etc... In Portuguese however I’m not getting... It’s just getting into English. Could someone help me ?

Answer 1

To use dates with location on "en BR" (Brazil) or "en PT" (Portugal), the use of two functions: setlocale and strftime.

The difference between date and strftime (beyond the parameters), is that strftime works with the indicated location, while date ignores these values.

In function setlocale, we can decide if we want to apply the location in all fields or just date, money, time etc. To apply only with dates, use setlocale(LC_TIME, "<Idioma>");

<?php

/* Localização */
setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt-BR");

/* Ignora a localização */
echo date("F j, Y, g:i a").PHP_EOL;

/* Aplica a data com localização */
echo strftime("%B %d, %G, %I:%M %p");

Your code should look like this:

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt-BR");

while($row = $retval->fetch_assoc()) { 
    if($row['banner'] == null) {
    $row['banner'] = 'Console';
}

// <<-----------------Ban Date Converter------------>> //
$timeEpoch = $row['time'];
$timeConvert = $timeEpoch / 1000;
$timeResult = strftime("%B %d, %G, %I:%M %p", $timeConvert);

// <<-----------------Expiration Time Converter------------>> //
$expiresEpoch = $row['expires'];
$expiresConvert = $expiresEpoch / 1000;
$expiresResult =  strftime("%B %d, %G, %I:%M %p", $expiresConvert);
?>

To know other function parameters stftime, just access to documentation
