PHP setlocale() fails in browser but works in cli

When I run this php file from command line, it is working fine. But running in through the browser, it is not working.

I'm running this on a local virtual Vagrant machine. Running Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 LTS x64.

<?php
$sd = setlocale(LC_TIME, 'nl_NL');
var_dump($sd);
echo strftime("%A");

output:

$ php test.php 
/var/www/domain/test.php:3:
string(5) "nl_NL"
woensdag

Running the same file in te browser:

/var/www/domain/test.php:3:boolean false
Wednesday

I don't understand why this is happening. I've installed the locale.

$ locale -a

After you install new locales you need to restart PHP for the new locales to work. So try restarting PHP.
