[Phpwiki-talk] gettext bug

[<d9...@na...>]

I give up. There must be some gettext bug. I can't get the gettext in
php to recognize translations. I have compiled and installed the
latest version of PHP and built it with --gettext but that didn't help
either.

If I use PhpWiki on a server with an old version of PHP which hasn't
gettext. PhpWiki defines it's own gettext in lib/config.php. That one
works like a charm. But the PHP built-in just returns the original
English string. PhpWiki follows the example in the API by the book so
there should not be any error there. I will make a simplified test
case tomorrow to check if there are no real errors in the php code of
PhpWiki.

Can someone confirm this?

My setup is:
 PhpWiki nightly build Jan 12 (same error with 1.1.9)
 PHP 4.0.4pl1 (same error with 4.0.3pl1) compiled with gettext
 Apache 1.3.14
 gettext 0.10.35

I had similar problems once - I don't know how I got rid of them.
But be sure to check, that you ran translate.sh which creates the necessa=
ry=20
*.mo file in LC_MESSAGES. gettext() uses that *.mo file and not the *.po=20
files. *.po files are only "source-files" for creating *.mo

Also, make sure that all permissions are ok (including directories).

Maybe this helps.

Check! I have a phpwiki.mo in locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES after running
translate.sh. But this is not case, because then I would be able to
change language to german, spanish or dutch and that doesn't work
either.

Could be. Although I can't find any fault in the permissions. The web
server should be able to read every file in phpwiki/. If I point my
browser to http://localhost/phpwiki/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/phpwiki.mo I
can download the file. Also note that if I run an old version of php,
the gettext function reads phpwiki.php in LC_MESSAGES/ instead and
that works great. The not so great thing is that the server where I
want my phpwiki only supports PHP4.
