I use this code to autopopulate a date field:

//<code>
$today = date("j F Y");
return $today;
//</code>

Suddenly the date output is in English but i like the date in dutch.

So not "5 February 2018" but "5 Februari 2018".

How can I translate? The date output used to be in dutch.

I've got the same problem...

I tried the solution below. Now the date is in dutch, but not inside the field anymore. It is shown on top of the form..

//<code>
$today = getdate();

// print_r ($today);
// deze array bevat alle informatie die je nodig hebt

$dagen=array();
$dagen[]="Zondag";
$dagen[]="Maandag";
$dagen[]="Dinsdag";
$dagen[]="Woensdag";
$dagen[]="Donderdag";
$dagen[]="Vrijdag";
$dagen[]="Zaterdag";

$maanden=array();
$maanden[]="jan";
$maanden[]="feb";
$maanden[]="maart";
$maanden[]="april";
$maanden[]="mei";
$maanden[]="juni";
$maanden[]="juli";
$maanden[]="aug";
$maanden[]="sept";
$maanden[]="okt";
$maanden[]="nov";
$maanden[]="dec";

echo $dagen[$today[wday]]." ".date('d')." ";
echo $maanden[$today[mon]-1].", ".date('Y');
//</code>

Nu even dit gebruikt als tussenoplossing:

//<code>
$today = date("j-m-Y");
return $today;
//</code>
