In case of success, it will return a string identifying the current locale setting. If the locale definition 'nl_BE' is not valid for the server (= it is not installed), it will return NULL.

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_BE'): Try to select the locale 'nl_BE'.

In case of success it will return a string identifying the current locale setting. That will rarely make sense for PHP because the current user is the user running the web server.

setlocale(LC_ALL, ''): Set the locale according to the current user's environment variables.
