The documentation should be updated accordingly as, sticking on it, I lost a day doing trial and error. Someone else might too... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-18 07:00:34] mfischer@php.net Have you tried php.net/setlocale ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-18 06:55:52] jsakalos@bigfoot.com I use SuSE Linux 7.3 distribution but I compiled PHP 4.2.0 from source as an apache module --with-apxs and --with-gettext=/usr I also compiled gettext 0.11.2 from source. I tried also --with-included-gettext in vain. When I use gettext from command line, it works: env LANG=sk_SK gettext -sd bsis "This I want to translate" Toto chcem prelozit or, when my locale is not in /usr/share/locale env LANG=sk_SK TEXTDOMAINDIR=/web/bsis/locale gettext .... The PHP script I use is: putenv("LANG=sk_SK"); bindtextdomain("bsis", "./locale"); textdomain("bsis"); echo _("This I want to translate"); Running this script I always get only the english text. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17304&edit=1
