My Language Function...

[Anon]

Hey,

I've been trying to write a function that will take an array from a file, and echo the contents into a different array, and here is the code for what I currently have:

function load_lang($lang_array, $file, $language) {

    require "./language/".$language."/".$file.".php";

    foreach ($lang as $key => $value)
    {
    	$lang_array[$key] = stripslashes($value);
    }

    unset($lang);

    return $lang_array;

}

and the code for an example language file:

<?php

$lang = array (

'username'  => "blablabla",
)
?>

so, concievably, something like "echo($lang_array['username']);" should return "blablabla"

For some odd reason, it doesn't...

Could someone help me out, im really in a coding rut here 🙂

Thanks in advance 🙂

$lang = array (
"username" => "blablabla"

?>

Hi Ben,
please show us, how is the load_lang function called, and tell us please, why is there a parameter named $lang_array ??? It seems to be not necessary. And may be that the variable $lang_array should by initialize like this: $lang_array = array();

I figured it out, but thanks for trying to help ;-)

I was calling it incorrectly, like so:

load_lang($lang_array, 'login', 'en');

thinking (incorrectly) that it would actually return the array '$lang_array'

stupid me forgot that I needed to call it like so:

$lang_array = load_lang($lang_array, 'login', 'en');

Once again, thanks for all your help ;-)
