Question to php-settings

[Hans-Jürgen Lommel]

Hi, sorry, maybe a stupid question, but anyway

i have some php-scripts with things like this

echo <snip> _("Name:") ; <snap>

it is not possible to see this page in my browser

when I change this in

echo <snip> ("Name:") ; <snip>

the page is loaded.

I think it's an php-setting, but which ?

Can anyone help me

tia

can you post the whole line, rather than snipping it?

I'd guess: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php

OK here is it, it's a part of login.php and belongs to the
squirrelmail-package.
I got the hint that it is a shortform of GetText and I trie a Test-Script
from the php-manual

<?php
// Set language to German
setlocale(LC_AL L, 'de_DE');

// Specify location of translation tables
bindtextdomain( "myPHPApp", "./locale");

// Choose domain
textdomain("myP HPApp");

// Translation is looking for in ./locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/myPHPApp.mo now

// Print a test message
echo gettext("Welcom e to My PHP Application");

// Or use the alias _() for gettext()
echo _("Have a nice day");
?>

On my Suse-Machine I see the text,
on my eisfair-Server not.

Ups, what to do ?
