ID: 47451 User updated by: szoftos at freemail dot hu Reported By: szoftos at freemail dot hu Status: Bogus Bug Type: Gettext related Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0 PHP Version: 5.2.9RC2 New Comment:
I think this is still a bug, and not a bogus one. For your translation to use, you HAVE to set the correct $LANG variable _runtime_. When you are using more than one translation, and would like to change translations on the fly, $LANG variable has to be changed to the apropriate setting each time. Without that, translations will not work with gettext. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-20 09:27:49] szoftos at freemail dot hu Yeah, but what if you would like to change your language on the fly, like changing languages on your site? And that's just one virtualhost, what if every virtualhost would like to use another setting of $LANG ... ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-19 21:45:58] j...@php.net If you can't use putenv() then you need to set the environment variables prior to running PHP / starting the webserver. No bug here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-19 16:04:20] szoftos at freemail dot hu Description: ------------ Hello, on BSD systems, setlocale itself is not usable for gettext without putenv(). If I don't use putenv() with setlocale() (which is not enabled by default in safe_mode for $LANG), my own translations are not useable with gettext. Since i use safe_mode, I'd not prefer enabling the setting of $LANG variablewith putenv(). What I've seen during php ktracing, is that setlocale() only reads the original language settings from /usr/share/locale/*, but my own translations are not looked up. Is there any way to fix that functionality? Maybe it's more BSD related than I think. Reproduce code: --------------- You can simply try the gettext module's own tests to test it in BSD. They all will fail, because those tests aren't usint putenv(). Expected result: ---------------- I expect not to use the putenv() with safe_mode=on :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47451&edit=1
