//-> #region wf_dates: LOCALE-NATIVE DATE RENDERING [Foundation Layer]
//-> strftime() is deprecated in PHP 8.1 and REMOVED in PHP 9, so every call had to move. It was also being fed ONE
//-> English-shaped pattern ("%A, %d %B %Y") for all four languages, which is not how any of them writes a date:
//-> Portuguese wants "domingo, 2 de agosto de 2026" (both "de"s, unpadded day), German wants the ordinal point
//-> "Sonntag, 2. August 2026", French takes no comma. These helpers ask ICU for each LOCALE'S OWN pattern instead of
//-> imposing one, so every language is written the way that language writes it. Locale follows setlocale() in
//-> _inc/_language.php, so nothing else has to change. NOTE ON CASE: months and weekdays are lowercase in modern
//-> European Portuguese - the Acordo Ortografico de 1990 (in force in Portugal 2009, transition closed 2015) ended
//-> the old "Agosto" capitalisation. ICU follows AO90, so lowercase here is correct and not a bug.
if(!function_exists('wf_locale')){
function wf_locale(){
$loc = setlocale(LC_TIME, '0');
if(!$loc || $loc === 'C' || $loc === 'POSIX'){ $loc = 'en_GB'; }
return str_replace(['.UTF8','.UTF-8','.utf8','.utf-8'], '', $loc);
}
//-> SENTENCE-INITIAL CAPITAL. AO90 lowercased the month AS A WORD IN RUNNING TEXT ("nasceu em agosto de 1975"); it
//-> did NOT touch the universal rule that a sentence, heading or standalone line opens with a capital. Every string
//-> these helpers produce is a standalone display line - a heading over a post, the date under a testimonial, a
//-> badge - so the first letter is capitalised and the month stays lowercase inside: "Domingo, 2 de agosto de 2026".
//-> That is orthographically correct AND gives the line the visual anchor a lowercase opening throws away.
function wf_ucfirst_line($s){
if($s === '' || $s === null){ return $s; }
return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($s, 0, 1, 'UTF-8'), 'UTF-8') . mb_substr($s, 1, null, 'UTF-8');

function wf_date_monthyear($timestamp){ return wf_ucfirst_line(wf_date_skel('yMMMM', $timestamp)); }
//-> Weekday + day + abbreviated month + year. Replaces strftime("%A, %e %b %G").
//-> Pluralo's booking widget reads better with the full native date than ICU's numeric-fallback skeleton.
function wf_date_weekday_abbr($timestamp){ return wf_date_full($timestamp); }
//-> Abbreviated month on its own, for the date badges. Replaces strftime("%b").
//-> Standalone badge: drop ICU's trailing abbreviation point, which reads as a typo under a big day number.
