Small conditional php function

[clem_dahms]

Hi,

 

I am quite new to php coding and I am trying to write a simple function.

The aim of this function is to print a small bit of html code when it is called.

Also I have 2 languages on my website so I have added an "if" so that I can call the write text depending on the language chosen by the user.

 

Here is the code I have so far but it is not working yet :

 

function delivery_title() {
    $current_lang = get_locale();
    $text_clem = '';
    if ($current_lang == 'fr_FR'): {
        $text_clem = 'LIVRAISON'
    } else: {
        $text_clem = 'DELIVERY'
    }
    endif;

echo '<span id="order_review_heading" class="checkout_header">';
echo $text_clem;
echo '</span>';

}

 

Would you guys be able to help me make this small function work properly ?

Thanks a lot !

 

Very best,

Clément

What is not working and  what error are you getting? Do you have error reporting turned on?

error_reporting(E_ALL);

When using a function to set a value (which you are doing) one must return the value to the caller.  Here is how I would do it.  Note how I place the function definition below the code that is referencing it.  I keep my functions out of the way of the main line code that does everything.  

$title = delivery_title();
...
...
...
function delivery_title() 
{
	$current_lang = get_locale();
	if ($current_lang == 'fr_FR')
		return 'LIVRAISON';
	else
		return 'DELIVERY';
}

I could have set a variable in the function and then return that as the last line of it, but there was no need in this simple function.
