Format localized dates. Requires at least PHP 5.3.0 and the Intl library, the latter can be installed from cli: sudo apt-get install php5-intl

dtime.php

<?php

class Dtime extends IntlDateFormatter
{
	private $date;

	public function __construct($datetime = '', $pattern = 'd MMMM yyyy HH:mm', $locale = 'it')
	{
		parent::__construct($locale, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL);

		$this->date = new DateTime($datetime);
		parent::setPattern($pattern);
	}

	public function get()
	{
		# Instead of ucwords() it is better to use mb_convert_case()
		# because it can deal with special characters
		return mb_convert_case(parent::format($this->date), MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8");
	}
