Using variables with define()

[hkimscil]

My script reads files (which has http urls, and title) and parse them in html format. For example,

1. the script reads files and retain them in array (variable names): media.txt, research.txt --> $filename[0], $filename[1], ...
2. the content of media.txt is http urls and corresponding titles.
   www.phpbuilder.com ... PHPBUILDER site
3. the script then returns <A href="http://www.phpbuilder.com">PHPBUILDER site</a>

This works fine...

My problem is that I want to translate file names into another language. For example, media --> "media (equivalent in Janpanese, for example)"

How would I do this?

I was thinking using define, but define is only for constants, not for variables. For example, using the variable names ($filename[$i]) as constant wouldn't work. That is,

echo ""._${menuList[$i]}."<br>\n";

would report an error.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

can you post some more code ?

What about

echo _${$menuList[$i]}."<br>\n";

It is a little bit hard to imagine what you want to do without some more code 🙂

What you want is to display different links depending on the selected language and to read the links out of the file referenced to that language ?
