Localizing Included Files in PHP

InfinityCoder December 21, 2016

You want to include locale-specific files in your pages.

Modify include_path once you’ve determined the appropriate locale, as shown in Example 19-5.

$base = '/usr/local/php-include';
$locale = 'en_US';
 
$include_path = ini_get('include_path');
ini_set('include_path',"$base/$locale:$base/global:$include_path");

In Example 19-5, the $base variable holds the name of the base directory for your included localized files.

Files that are not locale-specific go in the global subdirectory of $base, and locale-specific files go in a subdirectory named after their locale (e.g.,en_US).

Prepending the locale-specific directory and then the global directory to the include path makes them the first two places PHP looks when you include a file.

Putting the locale-specific directory first ensures that nonlocalized information is loaded only if localized information isn’t available.
Here, however, you can take advantage of PHP’s include_path feature to have the directory searching happen automatically.

For maximum utility, reset include_path as early as possible in your code, preferably at the top of a file loaded via auto_prepend_file on every request.
