This function wraps the C function of the same name, so it's a good idea to check out the
man page. PHP accepts some categories that have no effect on PHP itself. Also, PHP
does not necessarily accept all the valid categories your operating system offers.
Location codes differ with operation systems. In general they take the form of
language_country—that is, a language code followed by an optional underscore and a
country code. If you are using Windows, Visual C's help file lists all the languages and
countries.
<?
// change locale in Windows NT
print("Changing to Russian: ");
print(setlocale(LC_ALL, "russian"));
print("
\n");
print("Dos vedanya!");

Table 11.8. Categories forsetlocale
Category Description
LC_ALL (^) All aspects of locale
LC_COLLATE (^) Comparison of strings (not used by PHP)
LC_CTYPE (^) Conversion and classification of characters
LC_MONETARY (^) Monetary formatting (not used by PHP)
LC_NUMERIC (^) Number separation
LC_TIME (^) Time formatting
set_time_limit(integer seconds)
Use set_time_limit to override the default time a script is allowed to run, which is
usually set to 30 seconds inside php.ini. If this limit is reached, an error occurs and the
script stops executing. Setting the seconds argument to zero causes the time limit to be
disabled.
Each time the set_time_limit function is called, the counter is reset to zero. This means
that calling set_time_limit (30) gives you a fresh 30 seconds of execution time.
The time-limit functionality does not operate in Windows. Scripts will execute until
finished.
<?
// allow this script to run forever
set_time_limit(0);
?>
