Localization: Thread-Safe Locale Class
Guru Evi (contact me)
This class can be used to retrieve locale dependent values using the locale command.
It can retrieve several types of values that depend on the country and idiom for a given locale such as the format for date, time, money, country name, etc..
The class uses the locale command available on Linux/Unix systems as an alternative to using the PHP setlocale function.
