Is PHP for linux kernel 3.0 fully implemented?

Hi,

I am using my dockstar as a small web server for local area usage and test before deploying my web app on a dedicated web host.
I installed debian squeeze with apache, mysql php 5.
It is working pretty well except on a few points that might become truely annoying in next part of my project.
OOP does not seem to work entirely. Did you notice you cannot a class parent contructor, this way:
class A
{
function A ($name)
{
dosomething
}
}
class B extends A
{
function B ($name)
{
parent::__construct ($name);
}
}

"parent key name is ignored" by php interpreter

Besides, function setlocale does not seem working when switching to another locale:
for example:
setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr-FR", "fr-FR.utf8", "fra");
$s=strftime("%A %Y %m %d, %H:%M:%S",$timestamp);
echo $s;
day of the week is always displayed in english. I tried to replace - by _ and nothing changed.

There might be other issues like this. Cannot provide an exhaustive list, unless I make systematical test.
I installed standard php without any extra settings.
Any idea to help me fix it or is there no solution?

The kernel has nothing to do with PHP

ok. I checked for OOP calling parent method with success.
But there was still a problem with locale. I had to reconfigure locales. I cannot imagine I had to do it.
Only english was installed.
What I did:

# sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales (check language to install and validate)
# sudo locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

now php can display date in french or any other language
