PHP 4.0 Bug #8969: Gettext does not work

From: teejun@vallcom.com Operating system: Linux RedHat 7.0 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Gettext related Bug description: Gettext does not work 1) Just to show that gettext works in the system: A script: [teemu@jolly Test]$ cat loca2.sh #!/bin/sh LANG=fi export LANG TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale export TEXTDOMAINDIR TEXTDOMAIN=rpm export TEXTDOMAIN gettext "query package owning <file>" echo Run the script: [teemu@jolly Test]$ sh loca2.sh kysy pakettia, jonka omistuksessa <tiedosto> on 2) Try the same with PHP: A script: [teemu@jolly Test]$ cat loca2.php <?php putenv ("LANG=fi"); bindtextdomain ("rpm", "/usr/share/locale"); textdomain ("rpm"); print (gettext ("query package owning <file>")); print ("\n"); ?> Running it: [teemu@jolly Test]$ /var/www/cgi-bin/php loca2.php X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1 Content-type: text/html query package owning <file> 3) My configure line: [teemu@jolly Test]$ strings /var/www/cgi-bin/php | grep configure './configure' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--with-gettext' 4) I am using the php.ini-dist without modifications. I have the same problem even if I try to use php-4.0.4pl1-3 (RedHat rpm) and with php 4.0.2 I have installed my RedHat 7.0 about one month ago and I have run up2date several times. I saw another report on gettext in problem #8444. The problem was fixed by reinstalling linux. I really don't feel for reinstalling my OS. And I am afraid that it would only fix the problem temporarily (untill I update my system). Best regards, Teemu Junnila -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8969&edit=1
