Can someone point me to a definitive source for the answers to the following two questions:
1) In an environment with Redhat Linux 2.4.21-27.0.1, Apache 1.3.31, PHP 4.3.10, and GNU gettext 0.14.1, will using PHP's gettext support along with the GNU gettext utilities work properly? For example, I've seen references to the translated strings in .mo files not always being what appears on webpages, presumably due to the caching built into GNU gettext. 2) In December 2003, in the php.i18n newsgroup, in a posting titled "GNU gettext support for PHP programs",Bruno Haible said: - The just-released GNU gettext 0.13 has improved support for PHP programs - Unfortunately, GNU gettext is not yet ready for being used in a multithreaded environment where each thread may need to use a different locale/language. The README file in the hello-php directory for GNU gettext 0.14.1 says: ------------------------------------------------------------------ The gettext/PHP binding has a limitation: While it works fine for standalone PHP programs, it cannot be used inside a web server, to translate parts of web pages into the preferred encoding of user that makes a HTTP connection. The reason is that a web server usually is multithreaded, and the gettext() API relies on the process' global locale. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Do the above statements mean that using GNU gettext with PHP and Apapche 2.0 will not work? Does anyone know if there are plans to change GNU gettext to support multiple threads?
