title: strtotime days of the week not displaying in french
body: <p>My code will not output days of the week in French. Note: I have also tried to translate the days of the week within the code with the same results (output in English only).</p>
  
  <pre><code>date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); 
  setlocale (LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.utf8','fra');
  $today = strtotime('Saturday 14:00');
  $tomorrow = strtotime('Saturday 14:00');
  
  $friday = strtotime('Friday 14:00');
  $sunday = strtotime('Sunday 24:00');
  
  $now = time();
  
  if($now &lt; $friday &amp;&amp; $now &gt; $sunday)
  {
  
      $timeLeft = ($now &gt; $today ? $tomorrow : $today) - $now;
  
      $hoursLeft = gmdate("G", $timeLeft);
      $minutesLeft = gmdate("i", $timeLeft);
      $secondsLeft = gmdate("s", $timeLeft);
  
      if($hoursLeft &gt; 0)
      {
          echo $hoursLeft . ' heur';
  
          if($minutesLeft &gt; 0)
          {
              echo ' et ' . $minutesLeft . ' minutes';
          }
      }
      else 
      {
          echo $minutesLeft . ' minutes et ' . $secondsLeft . ' seconde ';
      }
  }
  else
  
  $date = date("l\, F j", strtotime("tomorrow"));
  
  $day = date('l', strtotime('today'));
  
  if ($day == 'Friday')
  {
      if($now &gt; strtotime('Friday 14:00'))
      {
          echo date('l, F j', strtotime('Tuesday'));
      }
      elseif($now &lt; strtotime('Friday 14:00'))
      {
          echo date('l, F j', strtotime('Monday'));
      }
  }
  elseif ($day == 'Saturday' || $day == 'Sunday')
  {
      echo date('l, F j', strtotime('Tuesday'));
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However if I use this basic code on it's own outside of the above it displays properly:</p>
  
  <pre><code>setlocale (LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.utf8','fra'); 
  echo (strftime("%A %d %B"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get the first block to output in French only?</p>
