多语言支持PHP [重复]

• Create a webpage with Multilanguage in PHP 10 answers

Alright, so I'm forced to create a multi-language support site in 4 languages (Greek, French, English and German). I have some ideas on how to set it up, although I would like a second opinion on this.

The first option is to include the file based on the user's settings.

/* 
------------------
Language: English   in   ENGLISH.PHP
------------------ 
*/

$lang['TITLE'] = 'My website page title';
$lang['HOME'] = 'Home';

/* 
------------------
Language: French  in   FRENCH.PHP
------------------
*/
$lang['TITLE'] = 'Titre site-web';
$lang['HOME'] = 'Accueil';

The file would be included accordingly: include_once 'ENGLISH.PHP'; etc.

The other option is to create one general file, but have the language output in an array:

$lang = array("en"=> array("TITLE"=>'My website page title',
                           "HOME" =>'Home'),

              "fr"=> array("TITLE"=>'Titre site-web',
                           "HOME" =>'Accueil'));



$set = $USER_INFO->langPref();   //  output:    en, fr, gr, de

echo $lang[$set]['TITLE'];

The second option seems easier to manage, but I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to this method...

Any opinions?

By the way, I was planning on translating everything myself.

You can used .ini to store language:

set = $USER_INFO->langPref(); 
if(file_exists("PATH_TO_FOLDER_LANGUAGE/".$set.'.ini')){
    $arrLanguage= parse_ini_file("PATH_TO_FOLDER_LANGUAGE/".$set.'.ini');
}else{
    $arrLanguage = array();
    echo "Language file not found";
}

print_r($arrLanguage);

in ini file, it will be same:

TITLE=Titre site-web
HOME=Accueil'
