HomeBackend DevelopmentPHP TutorialPHP中使用gettext来支持多语言的方法_php技巧

我们今天用一个简单的实例说明一下在PHP中的getText的用法(getText是一系列的工具和库函数,帮助程序员和翻译人员开发多语言软件的), 从而实现PHP的i18n.
现在, 我们假设要显示一个返回主页的link:

复制代码 代码如下:

//home.php:
$str = 'home';
print {$str}
HTML;

下面开启我们多语言的开发之旅:
创建pot文件,pot是Portable Object Template的首字母缩写,与po对应的是mo,mo是Machine Object的首字母缩写。前者意指原始的字符串文件,一般用于给翻译人员去修改的,后者则是与机器相关的,一般是供程序读取。可以手工创建pot文件,也可以通过xgettext从代码中抽取字符串来产生。这里是用xgettext来产生的:
xgettext -a home.php -o home.pot
运行该命令后,我们发现,在当前目录下,产生了一个名home.pot的文件,打开该文件,可以看到:
复制代码 代码如下:

# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR , YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2009-07-23 20:56+0800\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME \n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
#: home.php:2
msgid "home"
msgstr "

根据pot产生不同语言的po文件,这里我们先产生一个简体中文的po文件:
export LANG=zh_CN.gb2312
msginit -l zh_CN.gb2312 -i home.pot
运行该命令后,我们发现,在当前目录下,产生了一个名zh_CN.po的文件,打开该文件,可以看到:
复制代码 代码如下:

# Chinese translations for PACKAGE package
# PACKAGE 软件包的简体中文翻译.
# Copyright (C) 2009 THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# , 2009.
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2009-07-23 20:56+0800\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2009-07-23 21:00+0800\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME \n"
"Language-Team: Chinese\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=GB2312\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
#: test.php:2
msgid "home"
msgstr "

翻译zh_CN.po里对应的字符串为中文:
复制代码 代码如下:

# Chinese translations for PACKAGE package
# PACKAGE 软件包的简体中文翻译.
# Copyright (C) 2009 THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# , 2009.

msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2009-07-23 20:56+0800\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2009-07-23 21:00+0800\n"
"Last-Translator: \n"
"Language-Team: Chinese\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=GB2312\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
#: test.php:2
msgid "home"
msgstr "主页

根据po文件生成mo文件。
msgfmt zh_CN.po -o zh_CN.mo
运行该命令后,我们发现,在当前目录下,产生了一个名zh_CN.mo的文件。它是二进制的,不能用文本编辑器打开。
安装mo文件到特定目录中:
cp -f zh_CN.mo .local/LC_MESSAGES/home.mo
修改程序。
复制代码 代码如下:

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'zh_CN');
// Specify location of translation tables
bindtextdomain("home", ".");
// Choose domain
textdomain("home");
// Translation is looking for in ./locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/home.mo now
$str = gettext('home'); //也可以使用_('home')
print {$str}
HTML;

运行这个脚本, 看看, 是不是输出正确的中文了呢?
添加其它语言也很容易,不需要修改程序,只需要像对待中文一样,生成一个mo文件,并安装到系统中对应的目录即可。切换不同的语言仅仅是修改当前的locale就行了。

The best way to send emails is to use the PHPMailer library. 1) Using the mail() function is simple but unreliable, which may cause emails to enter spam or cannot be delivered. 2) PHPMailer provides better control and reliability, and supports HTML mail, attachments and SMTP authentication. 3) Make sure SMTP settings are configured correctly and encryption (such as STARTTLS or SSL/TLS) is used to enhance security. 4) For large amounts of emails, consider using a mail queue system to optimize performance.

Best Practices for Dependency Injection in PHPBest Practices for Dependency Injection in PHPMay 08, 2025 am 12:21 AM

The reason for using Dependency Injection (DI) is that it promotes loose coupling, testability, and maintainability of the code. 1) Use constructor to inject dependencies, 2) Avoid using service locators, 3) Use dependency injection containers to manage dependencies, 4) Improve testability through injecting dependencies, 5) Avoid over-injection dependencies, 6) Consider the impact of DI on performance.

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
