[SOLVED] problem with creating a language file

emtec · October 29, 2008

Hi there, i'm trying to create a multiple language file system.

But it isnt showing what i defined.

In my index

<?php include('language/NL.php'); ?>

My language file:

<?php
//CONTACT FORM//
define("NAME", "Naam");
define('EMAIL', 'Email');
define('SUBJECT', 'Onderwerp');
define('MESSAGE', 'Bericht');
define('CONTACT_FORM', 'Contact Formulier');
?>

My contact page:

<h2><?php echo CONTACT_FORM; ?></h2>
<p id="loadBar" style="display:none;">
	<strong>Sending Email. Hold on just a sec&#8230;</strong>
	<img src="image/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." title="Sending Email" />
</p>
<p id="emailSuccess" style="display:none;">
	<strong style="color:green;">Success! Your Email has been sent.</strong>
</p>
<div id="contactFormArea">
	<form action="inc/scripts/contact.php" method="post" id="cForm">
		<fieldset>
			<label for="posName"><?php echo NAME; ?>:</label>
			<input class="text" type="text" size="25" name="posName" id="posName" />
			<label for="posEmail"><?php echo EMAIL; ?>:</label>
			<input class="text" type="text" size="25" name="posEmail" id="posEmail" />
			<label for="posRegard"><?php echo SUBJECT; ?>:</label>
			<input class="text" type="text" size="25" name="posRegard" id="posRegard" />
			<label for="posText"><?php echo MESSAGE; ?>:</label>
			<textarea cols="50" rows="5" name="posText" id="posText"></textarea>
			<label>
				<input class="submit" type="submit" name="sendContactEmail" id="sendContactEmail" value=" Send Email " />
			</label>
		</fieldset>
	</form>
</div>

And this is what it shows:

can any1 please help?

bobbinsbro · October 29, 2008

remove the (") and the (') from the first argument in all your define() in the language file, i think.

emtec · October 29, 2008

Nope that dident helped.

But I found out that it works if I put the include in the contact form file itself.

But still, thats not what I want, I want the include to be in my index file.

bobbinsbro · October 29, 2008

so your index.php looks like this?

include('language/NL.php');

include('contact.php'); //or the actual filename

and it doesn't work...?

emtec · October 29, 2008

Yes, this is my index file:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Allyourdesigns</title>
<link href="css/main_nl.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php include('inc/functions.php');?>
<?php include('language/NL.php'); ?>
</head>
<body >
<div id="content_wrapper">
<?php 
include('inc/header.php');
    include('inc/navigation.php'); 
?>
    <div id="content_main">
        <div id="content_main_wrapper">
        <?php include('inc/wat.php'); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>

emtec · October 29, 2008

btw, maby the problem lies in the fact that the content of <div id="content_main_wrapper"> is changed using a javascript.


var loadedobjects=""
var rootdomain="http://"+window.location.hostname

function ajaxpage(url, containerid){
var page_request = false
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
page_request = new XMLHttpRequest()
else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
try {
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
} 
catch (e){
try{
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){}
}
}
else
return false
page_request.onreadystatechange=function(){
loadpage(page_request, containerid)
}
page_request.open('GET', url, true)
page_request.send(null)
}

function loadpage(page_request, containerid){
if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1))
document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML=page_request.responseText
}

function loadobjs(){
if (!document.getElementById)
return
for (i=0; i<arguments.length; i++){
var file=arguments[i]
var fileref=""
if (loadedobjects.indexOf(file)==-1){ //Check to see if this object has not already been added to page before proceeding
if (file.indexOf(".js")!=-1){ //If object is a js file
fileref=document.createElement('script')
fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
fileref.setAttribute("src", file);
}
else if (file.indexOf(".css")!=-1){ //If object is a css file
fileref=document.createElement("link")
fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
fileref.setAttribute("href", file);
}
}
if (fileref!=""){
document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(fileref)
loadedobjects+=file+" " //Remember this object as being already added to page
}
}
}

bobbinsbro · October 29, 2008

do you get the contact form with ajax or does that load first time along with the language file?

emtec · October 29, 2008

I load the form afterwards

bobbinsbro · October 29, 2008

that's your problem right there.

i think the best way to fix this would be to send a language code to the php file that handles the XHR, and then that file will include the relevant language file into contacts before sending proccessing it and sending back the form.

that may have been a bit too vague. if you need clarification, i'll go into more detail.

emtec · October 29, 2008

Can you give me some more explaination ?

here's all my code

if you need some other files, just ask ( maby the other contact files )

thanks in advance !

i'm being silly again.

what you should do is probably use the language filenames as a language code, and send to needed language code along with the request for the contact form. then inside the contact.php, piece together the language file filename by using the code, and include that. example:

you use nl.php so when you send the xhr to call contact.php, also send the string "nl". on the server side retrieve

$languageCode = $_GET[]//get the language code

then at the top of contact.php do

include($languageCode."php");

i think maybe that'll do it.
