PHP Fatal error: bindtextdomain()

masboy · November 6th, 2004, 4:18 PM

This calendar script is working fine for couple days, then all of sudden it's not working anymore. And the guy who made this script said, I should ask my webserver ( surpass ) to add multibyte string support to this PHP installation, because most likely I won't have permissions to compile and install programs in the server.

Here is the error

PHP Code:


			
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bindtextdomain() in /home/.... on line 72

Anybody can help me to solve this ?

Here's a quote of some of the things enabled, in the "php.ini".

Quote:

'--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex'

So, the support appears to be there (on my sever at least). I further looked it up on the internet and the "bindtextdomain()" function is a part of "gettext" functions. This too appears to be enabled in the 'php.ini'.

If we investigate further we'll see that encoding and translation for "mbstrings" is off, on my sever. And a couple other parts have no value; I don't know if they should though.

Quote:

mbstring.encoding_translation, local-value(Off) mater-value(Off).

There are three possibilities as I see it. One, it's not compiled on your server. Two, the support is there but the encoding translation being off effects your script. Three, whoever made these script/s for you didn't code them properly and there is no code defined for "bindtextdomain()". It's also possible that the code is there in the third case but the script/s aren't completely functional, maybe because of a faulty "include" or "require" statement.

What we need from you is:
1. All other error statements, if there are more.
2. We need to know what server you're on and the settings for that sever.
3. The rest or most of your code; specifically, parts related to "bindtextdomain()".

To get the server information, please use the code below.

PHP Code:


			
 <?php

phpinfo();

?>

The name of your sever is on the first line, called system. It'll be something like this.

myservername.surpasshosting.com

Are all the lines below enabled, somewhere in the second line called "configure command".

'--with-gettext' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex'

Find the main "gettext" section below, it'll have a bold-black type-face; check to see if it's enabled, on the listing there.
Find the section for mystring, it'll be in bold type too; check to see if encoding and translation is off, like my server.

Hopefully from all of that something can be done, we'll just wait and see.
