You have to put the extensions dlls in the directory you set extension_dir
to in php.ini.

I did that already.
I have now found out that the gnu_gettext.dll was needed as well: so
the call to the gettext function now works.
However: Can someone explain to me how to create *.po files in
windows? I have tried poEdit, with which I can create a *.po file, but
I'm not sure how to add entries..
I can add entries to the *.po file using a simple text-editor like
notepad though. However: how should gettext be able to 'know' where
the *.po file is resided?
Anybody got any hints? (the gnu-gettext documentation seems to be very
unix based....)
Thanks in advance,

Drop by http://www.php-er.com and take a look at the chapter on
gettext.
I have written a complete overview of using gettext with PHP. It is
also Unix-centric, but it is easier to understand than the gettext
docs. : )

Your page at:
http://www.php-er.com/chapters/Gettext_Functions.html
is very clear!
I have also completed the 'msgfmt' utility, so I have succesfully
created a "binary language file" (the .mo file from the .po file)
But.. unfortunately I still could not manage to get it work :-(
This is what I have done.
On the W2000-webserver, I've put the nl.mo file in the following
folder (directory):
[webroot]\melle\includes\translations\nl\LC_MESSAGES
so, in that directory resides the 'nl.mo' file.
I've altered your .php example to read:
=========
<HTML>
<BODY>
<?
// Bind a domain to directory
// Gettext uses domains to know what directories to
// search for translations to messages passed to gettext
bindtextdomain ('greetings', './includes/translations'); // Set the
current domain that gettext will use
textdomain ('greetings'); # Make an array
# Use the ISO two-letter codes as keys
# Use the language names as values
$iso_codes = array (
'en'=>'English',
'fr'=>'French',
'it'=>'Italian',
'pt'=>'Portuguese',
'es'=>'Spanish',
'nl'=>'Nederlands'
); foreach ($iso_codes as $iso_code => $language) {
# Set the LANGUAGE environment variable to the desired language
putenv ('LANGUAGE='.$iso_code); # Print out the language name and
greeting
# Filter the greeting through gettext
printf ("<b>%12s:</b> %s\n", $language, _("str_hello"));
}
?></BODY></HTML>
=======
I've put the above .php file in the [webroot]\melle folder.
The (wrong) output is:
English: str_hello
French: str_hello
Italian: str_hello
Portuguese: str_hello
Spanish: str_hello
Nederlands: str_hello
And, in the nl.po file, I have entered:
======
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: \n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2001-11-14 17:11+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: Melle Koning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"
"Language-Team: <>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
msgid "str_hello"
msgstr "hallo"
======
So, what I expected was:
===
English: str_hello
French: str_hello
Italian: str_hello
Portuguese: str_hello
Spanish: str_hello
Nederlands: hallo
===
So this does not work!
Now, what I think could still be going wrong is that 'gettext' is
unable to find the nl.mo file, in other words gettext is unable to
find the right folder(directory)...
My question:
How should I alter:
bindtextdomain ('greetings', './includes/translations');
I have already done this:
echo bindtextdomain ('greetings', '.\includes\translations');
This returns:
C:/Inetpub/PowerPlate/melle/includes/translations
Which seems to be ok, with the difference that I guess windows wants
to have:
C:\Inetpub\PowerPlate\melle\includes\translations
(backslashes instead of forward slashes)?
Any other hints to get gettext to find the .mo files???
Thanks,

Whooaa!
I finally! got it working!
===
C:/Inetpub/PowerPlate/melle/includes/translations
English: str_hello
French: allo
Italian: str_hello
Portuguese: str_hello
Spanish: str_hello
Nederlands: hallo
===
What I had to change (back) was:
bindtextdomain ("greetings", ".\includes\translations");
Above does not work. When I changed this to:
bindtextdomain ("greetings", ".\\includes\\translations");
ALSO, I had to change the filename to be 'greetings.mo': This was NOT
clear from all the gnu-pages I read. I had named those files: nl.mo
(for dutch) and fr.mo (for french etcetera). I simply tried to change
the *.mo filename to be the same as the 'domain' and it worked...
gettext suddenly worked on windows! :-)
I provide my code and folder-structure here for other windows-users:
<?
// Bind a domain to directory
// Gettext uses domains to know what directories to
// search for translations to messages passed to gettext
bindtextdomain ("greetings", ".\\includes\\translations"); // Set the
current domain that gettext will use
textdomain ('greetings'); # Make an array
# Use the ISO two-letter codes as keys
# Use the language names as values
$iso_codes = array (
'en'=>'English',
'fr'=>'French',
'it'=>'Italian',
'pt'=>'Portuguese',
'es'=>'Spanish',
'nl'=>'Nederlands'
); foreach ($iso_codes as $iso_code => $language) {
# Set the LANGUAGE environment variable to the desired language
putenv ('LANGUAGE='.$iso_code); # Print out the language name and
greeting
# Filter the greeting through gettext
printf ("<b>%12s:</b> %s\n", $language, gettext("str_hello")) & "\n";
}
?>
In the windows-webfolder I have the following directory-structure:
==
\includes\translations
\includes\translations\en
\includes\translations\en\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\en\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
\includes\translations\fr
\includes\translations\fr\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\fr\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.mo
\includes\translations\fr\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
\includes\translations\it
\includes\translations\it\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\it\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
\includes\translations\nl
\includes\translations\nl\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\nl\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.mo
\includes\translations\nl\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
\includes\translations\pt
\includes\translations\pt\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\pt\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
\includes\translations\sp
\includes\translations\sp\LC_MESSAGES
\includes\translations\sp\LC_MESSAGES\greetings.po
===
To get this working you will need a greetings.po file like this:
(this one is in the 'nl' subdir for dutch language:
===
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: \n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2001-11-14 17:11+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: Melle Koning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"
"Language-Team: <>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
msgid "str_hello"
msgstr "hallo"
===
and you have to 'compile' this .po file to a .mo file with the
following command-line (go to 'command prompt'):
==
msgfmt -o greetings.mo greetings.po
==
To get msgfmt working on your windows machine, you will need to have
libiconv.dll, libintl.dll and msgfmt.exe in your path. What I did was
put these three files in a new c:\utils folder and than run the
command:
path=%path%;c:\utils
I hope this helps some windows-users like me to get gettext() to work
on their systems.......
Cheers,
Melle

Remember that you also need gnu_gettext.dll

Windows may use a different environment variable to store
language information. IIRC, you can use set from a DOS window
to see what variables have been set. Try changing LANGUAGE
to LC_ALL in your PHP code.
Also, make very sure that everything is where you expect it to be.
Check that the .mo files are in the right directory, etc.
Other than that, I can't offer much more help. Try digging around on
the web for information on gettext and win32.
Good Luck!
