Class Summary I18Nv2 – I18Nv2 - Internationalization v2

I18Nv2 - Internationalization v2

The static I18Nv2 class currently provides routines for unified (ment as OS independent) locale setting, retrieving locale specific information like the "thousands separator" and automatic characterset conversion for output.

This documentation is outdated and needs an overhaul.

Intro

Intro – Introduction to I18Nv2

Preface

The work on I18Nv2 has actually started as a refactoring of I18N, but after some time I figured out that too many BC breaking changes were applied, so the release of a new major version was suggested.

Differences to I18N

I18N was modeled after Java OO practice and it provides a bunch of classes for each formatting action (numbers, currencies, dates).

I18Nv2 takes another approach and provides all formatting functionality within one class, which is I18Nv2_Locale.

I18Nv2_Locale is based upon PHPs builtin functionality of setlocale() , localeconv () and iconv related functions, while I18N completely depends on user contributed formatting rules.

I wouldn't say I18Nv2's approach is the better one, because it depends on the internationalization capabilities of the underlying operating system, but it's simpler and faster - though it is in need of user contributed date and time formatting rules.

I18N's translation functionality was dropped in favour of the new and shiny Translation2.

I18Nv2 still provides an HTTP negotiator to reveal the users preferred language/locale and charset.

I18Nv2 has translated lists of ISO country and language names for about 50 different languages. See I18Nv2_Country and I18Nv2_Language.

API Documentation

Please see PEARs API Documentation for details on the API provided by I18Nv2.

Setting a locale

Because Un*x and Windows use different locale codes, PHPs setLocale() is not easily portable - I18Nv2::setLocale() attempts to provide this portability.

With I18Nv2 you can use standard locale codes like 'en_US' on both, Linux and Windows, though the list is far not complete yet, so if you stumble over a not covered locale (I18Nv2::$locales in I18Nv2::_main()), just drop a mail to the maintainer with the missing locale and its corresponding Win32 code.

I18Nv2::setLocale()

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2.php';

foreach (array('en_US', 'de', 'fr_CN') as $locale) {
    if (!$syslocale = I18Nv2::setLocale($locale)) {
        echo "Locale '$locale' not available!\n";
    } else {
        echo "Systems locale for '$locale': '$syslocale'\n";
    }
}
?>

Retrieving locale conventions

I18Nv2 holds locale conventions returned by localeConv() stored statically, so they are easily accessible through I18Nv2::getInfo(). Have a look at the documentation of PHPs localeConv() for all available information.

I18Nv2::getInfo()

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2.php';

I18Nv2::setLocale('fr');

$dec_point = I18Nv2::getInfo('decimal_point');
echo "The decimal point for the french locale is '$dec_point'.\n";
echo "I18Nv2::getInfo() called without parameter returns all available information:\n";
print_r(I18Nv2::getInfo());
?>

Automatically transform output character set

I18Nv2 provides an easy way to utilize the ob_iconv_handler() through I18Nv2::autoConv().

I18Nv2::autoConv()

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2.php';

// Writing a shell app that should also display nicely in a DOS box
if (I18Nv2_WIN) {
    I18Nv2::autoConv('CP850');
}

// output some latin1 stuff
echo "äüöß\n";
?>

Using I18Nv2_Locale

I18Nv2_Locale is a formatter object that provides functionality to format dates, times, numbers and currencies in locale dependent conventions.

I18Nv2_Locale

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2.php';

$locale = &I18Nv2::createLocale('de_AT');

echo "Format a currency value of 2000: ",
    $locale->formatCurrency(2000, I18Nv2_CURRENCY_INTERNATIONAL), "\n";

echo "Format todays date:              ",
    $locale->formatDate(null, I18Nv2_DATETIME_FULL), "\n";

echo "Format current time:             ",
    $locale->formatTime(null, I18Nv2_DATETIME_SHORT), "\n";
?>

Using I18Nv2_Negotiator

I18Nv2 provides a language, charset and locale negotiator for HTTP.

I18Nv2_Negotiator

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2/Negotiator.php';

$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] = 'en-US,en-GB,en;q=0.5,de';
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET']  = 'utf-8,iso-8859-1;q=0.5';

$neg = &new I18Nv2_Negotiator;

echo "User agents preferred language:                  ",
    $lang = $neg->getLanguageMatch(), "\n";

echo "User agents preferred country for language '$lang': ",
    $neg->getCountryMatch($lang), "\n";

echo "User agents preferred locale:                    ",
    $neg->getLocaleMatch(), "\n";

echo "User agents preferred charset:                   ",
    $neg->getCharsetMatch(), "\n";
?>

Using I18Nv2_Language

I18Nv2 provides translated lists of ISO language names.

I18Nv2_Language

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2/Language.php';

$lang = &new I18Nv2_Language('it', 'iso-8859-1');

echo "Italian name for English: ",
    $lang->getName('en'), "\n";

echo "Italian name for French:  ",
    $lang->getName('fr'), "\n";
?>

Using I18Nv2_Country

I18Nv2 provides translated lists of ISO country names.

I18Nv2_Country

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2/Country.php';

$country = &new I18Nv2_Country('de', 'iso-8859-1');

echo "German name for United States: ",
    $country->getName('us'), "\n";

echo "German name for Italia:        ",
    $country->getName('it'), "\n";
?>

Using I18Nv2_Country

I18Nv2 provides decorated classes for country and language lists.

I18Nv2_DecoratedList

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2/Country.php';
require_once 'I18Nv2/DecoratedList/HtmlSelect.php';
require_once 'I18Nv2/DecoratedList/HtmlEntities.php';

$c = &new I18Nv2_Country('it', 'iso-8859-1');
$e = &new I18Nv2_DecoratedList_HtmlEntities($c);
$s = &new I18Nv2_DecoratedList_HtmlSelect($e);

// set some attributes
$s->attributes['select']['name'] = 'CountrySelect';
$s->attributes['select']['onchange'] = 'this.form.submit()';

// set a selected entry
$s->selected['DE'] = true;

// print a HTML safe select box
echo $s->getAllCodes();
?>

I18Nv2_CommonList::toDecoratedList()

<?php
require_once 'I18Nv2/Country.php';

$c = &new I18Nv2_Country('it', 'iso-8859-1');
$s = &$c->toDecoratedList('HtmlSelect');

// set some attributes
$s->attributes['select']['name'] = 'CountrySelect';
$s->attributes['select']['onchange'] = 'this.form.submit()';

// set a selected entry
$s->selected['IT'] = true;

// print a HTML select box
echo $s->getAllCodes();
?>
