note 43127 added to ref.gettext

winXP, PHP 4.3.5 as Apache1.3.29 module Two hints for Windows users. I found setting locale is neither sufficient nor nessecery. To get it work I needed to set either LC_ALL or LANG enviroment variable to my locale. Anyway this value must be proper for setlocale so it is good to test with it. In my case it was bgr_BGR for bulgarian according to http://www.unicode.org/onlinedat/countries.html gettext checks for files once and keeps them in cashe. Especially it means that if it doesn't find your files it won't search again, so restart Apache after any directory changes!! My minimal working script: <?php // translation file: D:\Apache\htdocs\mypage\locale\bgr_BGR\LC_MESSAGES\messages.mo putenv("LC_ALL=bgr_BGR"); bindtextdomain('messages', 'D:\Apache\htdocs\mypage\locale\\'); echo gettext("Hello"); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43127 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43127&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43127&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
