Well, then there is probably something wrong with your PHP. This is  
the PHP equivalent of the C script:

$t = time();

$locale = setlocale(LC_TIME, "C");
$fmt_C = nl_langinfo(T_FMT);
$result = strftime($fmt_C, $t);
printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", $locale, $fmt_C, $result);

$locale = setlocale(LC_TIME, "en_US.UTF-8");
$fmt_US = nl_langinfo(T_FMT);
$result = strftime($fmt_US, $t);
printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", $locale, $fmt_US, $result);

The output should be the same.
