Re: Configure flag for turning on/off the function alias"_()" for "gettext()"

Hi,

Perhaps it'd be better to write a feature request at http://bugs.php.net/ .
I like your idea, but could it be that simple by preparing a function like 
__() and using it everywhere instead.

<?php // sample
if ($CONFIG['DEBUG_MODE']) {
	function __($str) {
		$retval = gettext($str);
		if ($str == $retval) {
			trigger_error("missing translation for "$str", E_USER_NOTICE);
		}
		return $retval;
	}
} else {
	function __($str) {
		return gettext($str);
	}
}
?>
