Right now, we only have two languages... Japanese and English. What I want to do is to display Japanese formatted dates on those pages.
e.g. Wednesday, June 9 >>>> (Japanese Date Text)6月 9日(水曜日)
I have contemplated arrays, although I really don't know how to use them. I have contemplated just storing the values in the database, but, I'm not sure if that is the best way. (3 DB accesses per page load).
Right now, I have a little routine that looks like this. I'm trying to convert the output to japanese. The date function is a straightforward assignment right now which is perfect for English. [ (date("l, F d",$last_visited) ] But, for japanese...What to do?
Code: Select all
<?php
//
// This code must be included in each page requiring user authorization to access
//
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '../forums/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);
//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management
//
// Check for logged in status and set some non-forum specific environment stuff
//
if($userdata['session_logged_in'])
{
$last_visited = $userdata['user_lastvisit'];
$display_message = ('Welcome ' . $userdata['username'] . '! ' . 'あなたが最後の来られたのは ' . date("l, F d",$last_visited) . ' です。');
$site_root = ('http://www.chirowebjapan.com');
$forum_index = ($site_root . '/forums/index.php?sid=' . $userdata['session_id']);
$forum_logout_path = ($site_root . '/forums/login.php?logout=true&sid=' . $userdata['session_id']);
$user_new_message = $userdata['user_new_privmsg'];
$user_ip = $userdata['session_ip'];
$display_logout_btn = ('TRUE');
}
else
{
$display_message = ('Welcome to Chiroweb Japan. You are logged in as a Guest. Today is ' . gmdate("l. F d") . '.');
$site_root = ('http://www.chirowebjapan.com');
$forum_index = ($site_root . '/forums/index.php');
$display_logout_btn = ('FALSE');
}
?>So, what do you think?

I may be in more trouble than I thought. On preview, the Japanese above is converted to unicode values rather than the actual text. Hmmm.
