about locale settings

When I've set LC_ALL before calling php, why do I need to call
setlocale() in the script too:

LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 php -r "print strftime('%B');"
June

LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 php -r "setlocale(LC_ALL,''); print strftime('%B');"
Juni

What am I missing here?  I have no problem with the setlocale(LC_ALL,'')
call, but I'd like to understand why I need it.
