[phpesp-general] Re: language not changing [gettext]

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

In order for gettext to work:
 1) safe_mode must Off
    otherwise environment variables cannot be set
 2) gettext must be compiled into PHP  *or*  PHP must be
    able to dynamically load the extension

You can test the above requirements with this PHP code:

<?php
  echo ("safe mode: " . (ini_get("safe_mode") ? "On" : "Off") . "<br>");
  if (!extension_loaded("gettext")) {
    echo("gettext: not loaded ... trying to load<br>");
    dl("gettext.so"); // maybe just "gettext" no "gettext.so"
  }
  echo ("gettext: " . (extension_loaded("gettext") ?
    "loaded" : "not loaded") . "<br>");
?>
// You may also want to include:
<?php echo("browser wants: " .
  $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] . "<br>"); ?>

phpESP will use the first languge from the
"HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE" string that it finds in the locale
path.
