Multilanguage application

[Esbar]

Hi (:,

so, i'm going to create an application based on classes with an language selection feature. So first i did it like this

[code]
<?php

$menu = array(
              "home"=>"Home"
              );

class foo {

   final function __construct() {
      print($menu["home"]);
   }

}

?>
[/code]

But ofcourse that doesn't work. It says "Variable 'menu' undefined..".
So any ideas what i should do?

Just making it reach the top-

Try defining the class variable.

[code]

<?php

class foo {

var $menu = array(
              "home"=>"Home"
              );


   final function __construct() {
      print($menu["home"]);
   }

}

?>
[/code]

If that doesn't work, which i'm not sure if it will or not because i've never used an array with var try declaring it as a global.

[code]

<?php

$menu = array(
              "home"=>"Home"
              );

class foo {

   final function __construct() {

      global $menu;

      print($menu["home"]);
   }

}

?>
[/code]

None of that helped :(
But do you got any other suggestions how to make the language feature?

If you have ever had to write apps in other languages for standalone....

One very useful feature is the resource file. Have a read up on resouce files. Maybe implement it via the database...
