don't go down the define('LANG_KEY', 'lang string value'); route - defines
are comparatively SLOW to create. IF you go down the road of loading in text
from 'per lang' files I would suggest using an array as the storage mechanism:
$Lang = array(
'LANG_KEY' => 'lang string value',
// .. etc
);
assoc array are much less heavy to create.
Thanks, I'll try the assoc array.
also consider that there are, imho, 2 kinds of language specific data:
1. 'static' values - button texts, [error] messages - these are specified during site/application
design.
Yes these are the static texts I'm talking about. They don't depend on
data, only on layout and design.
2. 'dynamic' values - document titles, headers, content - these are specified by the owner/user during
the lifetime of the site/application
Sure, I've these values too and store them in the database.
for the rest I'll just say 'ditto' to most of what the other list members replied :-)
Thanks a lot.
