How did you confirmed that the locale got set?

It doesn't have to be written in PHP.
Compile the following program and try it from the command line:
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (2 > argc) {
return printf("usage: %s <locale>\n", *argv);
}
char *old = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("old: %p \"%s\"\n", old, old);
char *loc = setlocale(LC_ALL, argv[1]);
char *check = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("check: %p \"%s\"\n", check, check);
if (0 == loc) {
printf("setlocale: \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
return printf("new: %p \"%s\"\n", loc, loc);
}
Put "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" in your apache config
and call the above from the script below, does the output differ?
foo.cgi:
#!/bin/sh
printf "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"
