I18n使用PHP gettext（）

Question

I am trying to translate my website using PHP gettext() for which I have implemented the following code:

if ( false === function_exists('gettext') ) {
    echo "You do not have the gettext library installed with PHP.";
    exit(1);
}
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');
$localedir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/Locale';
echo $localedir . ': ';
bindtextdomain('messages', $localedir);

textdomain('messages');
echo gettext("Hello");
exit(0);

But it doesnot seem to work because it is echoing the same string what I pass in gettext().

I have created the *.po, *.mo files using poedit while following https://blog.udemy.com/php-gettext/ tutorial.

The above code has been taken from https://github.com/nota-ja/php-gettext-example/blob/master/index.php

But while having such solutions I am unable to translate the given content. Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

you dont have to equal to false with function_exists. function_exists will check if function exists or not

if (function_exists('gettext')) {
   // this function exists
}else{
     echo "You do not have the gettext library installed with PHP.";
    exit(1);
}
