Get day from string in spanish PHP

Question

I'm trying with:

 setlocale(LC_ALL,"es_ES");
 $string = "24/11/2014";
 $date = DateTime::createFromFormat("d/m/Y", $string);
 echo $date->format("l");

And I'm getting Monday, which is correct but I need it in spanish, so, is there any way to retrieve this day in spanish?

Answer 1

From the DateTime format page:

This method does not use locales. All output is in English.

If you need locales look into strftime Example:

setlocale(LC_ALL,"es_ES");
$string = "24/11/2014";
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("d/m/Y", $string);
echo strftime("%A",$date->getTimestamp());
