dcgettext

Name

dcgettext — Performs a message lookup using the specified domain and category.

Synopsis

string dcgettext(text_domain, message[, . . .]); string text_domain: Domain from which to fetch the translation string message: Message to translate integer . . . (optional): Category to use (such as LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, etc.)

Returns

The translated message, if a translation can be found; otherwise, the original message

Description

dcgettext() allows the default domain and category to be overridden for a single message lookup. If a translation for the message can be found in the given domain and category, it will be returned. Otherwise, the message will be returned.

In this context, the term category refers to the category of locale in which the message should be looked up. Valid categories include LC_CTYPE, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_MESSAGES, and LC_ALL. Categories must be specified using their numeric values (see the following table). PHP constants that represent these values are likely to be introduced after PHP 4.0.4.

Category	Numeric Value
LC_CTYPE	0
LC_NUMERIC	1
LC_TIME	2
LC_COLLATE	3
LC_MONETARY	4
LC_MESSAGES	5
LC_ALL	6

Version

PHP Version: 3.0.7+, 4+

Example

Example 454. Basic usage of dcgettext()

// Assume that several text domains have been defined and that one has been bound

// Temporarily escape the default domain and category
print dcgettext ('alternate', 'At the tone, the time will be 12:00pm', 2);
