cats or gettext comes to mind.
    Neither are usable, though, because PHP would need to support
    multiple concurrent message catalogues on a per-thread base.
    gettext/catgets associate exactly one language with each
    process through the use of environment variables, so that
    they cannot be used in a multi-threaded server.
    A mechanism based on the bundled cdb, for example, would be
    superior in terms of speed, thread-safeness, and portability.
Why? The error messages are for the developer, not the masses. But generaly I agree with using something else. More the point is that stuff exists, techniques exist, no need to reinvent the wheel. Shane
