Req #54178 [Opn]: make a better intl Locale::acceptFromHttp

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54178&edit=1 ID: 54178 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Summary: make a better intl Locale::acceptFromHttp Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: I18N and L10N related PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: There is nothing wrong with uloc_acceptLanguageFromHTTP() per se; it's rather that Locale::acceptFromHTTP() should have an optional parameter which allows to pass in the locales supported by the caller. This could be passed to the ICU function as availableLocales. PRs welcome!

What kind of black magic does php use to detect the best supported language of my application? eg: Accept-Language:de-DE,de;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4 and now the application supports the locales "it-IT" and "en", but the result of Locale::acceptFromHttp is "de-DE". I'm pretty sure nobody will use a implementation with such useless results. weird enough the icu lib is supporting this behavior! see @ http://icu- project.org/apiref/icu4c/uloc_8h.html#aced06018568333e1906ae104ab62757a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-07 09:14:49] giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Description: ------------ hi, would be nice to have some like this in the lib http://www.thefutureoftheweb.com/blog/use-accept-language-header the current implementation of Locale::acceptFromHttp is not useful at all thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54178&edit=1
