#21447 [NEW]: gettext stopped working

From: vigna@acm.org Operating system: Linux Red Hat 8.0 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Gettext related Bug description: gettext stopped working After installing Red Hat Linux 8.0 with Apache 2, gettext support stopped working. I am using the sequence of calls putenv("LANG=".$_ERW_locale); setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $_ERW_locale); bindtextdomain("ERW", $_ERW_localePath); textdomain("ERW"); to bind the text domain, and this worked perfectly in several different ERW installations (http://erw.dsi.unimi.it/) up to the upgrade. It is very difficult to give any other hint. If you create a script like <?php putenv("LANG=it_IT"); setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "it_IT"); bindtextdomain("ERW", "/home/vigna/cvs/ERW/php/locale"); textdomain("ERW"); print _("something translated"); ?> and the translation file is located as follows /home/vigna/cvs/ERW/php/locale/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES/ERW.mo the string does not get translated. The complete lack of feedback of any of the gettext package functions makes it also very difficult to understand what's going wrong. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21447&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21447&r=gnused
