PHP setlocale not working even with locales existing

php setlocale

okay, after posting this, I tried one more thing. So for those experiencing the same issue, you need to set this first before setting the new locale:

setlocale(LC_TIME, "");

php setlocale

You have to restart php before use new installed locales.

php setlocale

If you want to use the system default locale in Apache2, you just need to add (or uncomment) the following line in the /etc/apache2/envvars file :

. /etc/default/locale

Think to restart apache2 after this operation and clear your potential cache to check locale is well given to PHP.
