#6470: [PATCH] localization function should support placeholders
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: mikesmullin | Type: Enhancement
Status: new | Priority: Low
Milestone: 1.3.x.x | Component: Core Libs
Version: 1.2 Final | Severity: Normal
Keywords: | Php_version: n/a
Cake_version: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Also the localization function should have $return default to TRUE but
someone in #cakephp said this was already going to be in the next release
so I'll just mention it here FWIW that this function also takes care of
that.
I have attached a patch showing how we defined the function in our
bootstrap.inc. This may as well be made directly to ./cake/basics.php if
it is implemented in core. You'll notice the function is from Drupal's
localization functions:
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/t/5
However, for our purposes here in CakePHP, it has been modified as a
wrapper for the __() function. This also allows the old function to exist
for backward compatibility.
There are numerous advantages to allowing placeholders in the localization
function, and they are explained in the PHPDoc code comment documentation
above the function in my patch. But the gist of it is that rather than
trying something like `sprintf(__('You have %d employees.', TRUE),
count($employees));` every time, you would do something more like `t('You
have @count employees.', array('@count' => count($employees));` There is a
big difference and the second form ends up being a lot more convenient.
Read the patch!
