I'm following the tutorial here, php is outputting the msgid instead of the msgstr. Here is what I have...
extension=php_gettext.dll uncommented in php.ini (this was already uncommented in xampp)
php_gettext.dll in C:\xampp\php\ext (this was already in xampp)
Directory structure C:\xampp\htdocs\TestI18N\Locale\en_US\LC_MESSAGES with created messages.po and messages.mo files in LC_MESSAGES.
A file called test-locale.php in C:\xampp\htdocs\TestI18N with the following
// I18N support information here
$language = "en_US";
putenv("LANG=" . $language);
setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);
// Set the text domain as "messages"
$domain = "messages";
bindtextdomain($domain, "Locale");
bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, 'UTF-8');
textdomain($domain);
echo _("HELLO_WORLD");
My messages.po file
msgid ""
msgstr ""

# Test token 1
msgid "HELLO_WORLD"
msgstr "Hello World!"
# Test token 2
msgid "TEST_TRANSLATION"
msgstr "Testing translation..."
The output is HELLO_WORLD. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
