Re: cant get gettext to work with php

Your question has been answered, but on the php-general list.
Look at that list archives and below (for a Unix/Linux/BSD srv)

Better $language = 'de_DE'; // see php manual

This should work better:

putenv("LANG=de_DE");
putenv("LANGUAGE=de_DE");  // better to be paranoid, works for me
putenv("LC_ALL=de_DE");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE", "german");

(see some user comments in php manual)

Then you can try to reload the apache webserver
(because of the gettext cache, which could hide modifications).
"/etc/init.d/apache reload" on a Debian GNU/Linux system.
"/etc/rc.d/httpd reload" on RedHat likes

PS: another possibility is the german locales arent installed correctly
on the unix server. (on a Debian Linux: dpkg-reconfigure locales)
