[Phpwebsite-developers] Language function

[Bob T. <bo...@el...>]

I just thought of two reasons to use a function call instead of just 
a variable assignment.
  1.  You could pass the entire string into the function call.   If 
the function doesn't have a variable of that name, it just returns 
the string that is passed in:
 show_string('Do you really mean it') 

 function show_string($key) {
  If ( ! ($lang[$key] ) {
    return $key;
  }

This would make it easy when developing code to get everything right 
before creating abbreviation keys and changes to the translation file 
or database.

The other reason is so that the function can log certain types of 
messages that are very unexpected, (Database not available or 'Cant 
write to file XYZ fior instance)  or indicate a possible security 
breach or hacking attempt ( "Too many login attempts" )
