PHP Intl Class Language Names Primer Tutorial

You might have noticed over the last week (further to yesterday’s PHP Intl Class Region Names Primer Tutorial) or so, how useful …

Locales

… are as a data item involved with PHP intl “Internationalization” class programming work.

As an example Locale …


pt_BR

… we’ve been making quite a lot out of the “BR” ISO-3166 2 letter Country Code as the suffix of such a Locale. But what about the prefix of Locales? That prefix maps to an ISO-639 Language Code, meaning any derivable (ie. via our keyboard onkeydown and oninput logics) set of Locales could tell us (at the very least) two types of information, exemplifying the case above …

List of Countries using pt Portuguese List of Languages used in BR Brazil
pt pt_AO pt_BR pt_CH pt_CV pt_GQ pt_GW pt_LU pt_MO pt_MZ pt_PT pt_ST pt_TL es_BR pt_BR

All “code talk” above, but what about some Language Names, because you are not likely to ask down at Copacabana Beach …

Ei, cara! Você falar es?

That’s where we thank https://www.php.net/manual/en/locale.getprimarylanguage.php for the “heads up” to use code as per the followup to $lochelper and $lochelpertwo data flows to help with these Language Name determinations …

Apart from Ghostbusters who do you turn to when you want to know what a resident of a region calls their region?

Still, Ghostbusters, you must be pulling my leg?!

Anyway, further to yesterday’s PHP Intl Class Currency Primer Tutorial, we’ve turned to good ol’ PHP.net, as usual (when it comes to many matters PHP).

In amongst all the ISO code usage we seek when interfacing to the PHP intl “Internationalization” class, because they are definitive, even so, we feel we need to allow users to enter Country Names, as one concept, especially as Country Names have been there before any ISO codes even started. The trouble with Country Names is twofold …

  • it is not a reliable indexer, if you get my drift, because there are lots of forms, in any language you pick, for what a Country Name is
  • at least for an English representation of a Country Name we’d like consistency, and, happily, the PHP intl “Internationalization” class can provide it

… via PHP code of the ilk …

<?php

echo "<p id=pdfmt>" . locale_get_display_region(urldecode($_GET['locale']), urldecode($_GET['displaylocale'])) . "</p><br>";

?>

As you might imagine, this discovery can have mildly wide ranging implications … well, you had to be there … on …

…PHP intl class suite of web applications we’re not letting Ghostbusters anywhere near!

We’re back with the PHP intl “Internationalization” class, today, last talked about with the recent PHP Intl Class Datetime Keyboard Events Tutorial, this time discussing …

Currency Internationalization

… topics. Again, we found the Locale data item, as with Datetimes, the main data item of interest. But, any one Country can use more than one Currency (defined by an ISO-4217 3 letter Currency Code) in this new PHP Intl using Currency web application we’ve started developing today, and on a Locale selection we choose the first such one, and leave it open to the user to be able to type in their own ISO-4217 three letter Currency Code, as required.

We got great help from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76825595/php-format-currency-issue with codeline ideas, such as …

<?php

$formatter = new NumberFormatter(urldecode($_GET['locale']), NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
if (isset($_GET['amount'])) {
echo "<p id=pdfmt>" . $formatter->formatCurrency(urldecode($_GET['amount']), urldecode($_GET['currency'])) . "</p><br>";
} else {
echo "<p id=pdfmt>" . $formatter->formatCurrency(76543.210, urldecode($_GET['currency'])) . "</p><br>";
}

?>

The work of Datetimes, ahead of all this, has meant it is easier to get “further down the track” for today’s “proof of concept” i_cur_eg.php PHP code start, that has keyboard event and dropdown logics all in there, and which you can try below …

As far as “user interaction” goes with our Current Datetime PHP web application of PHP Intl Class Datetime Google Translate Tutorial we’ve been thinking …

  • the user would be more likely to use the dropdown element selection methods … but supposing …
  • the user uses the keyboard to enter Locale and/or Timezone

… and, as of yesterday’s logic, that would have been quite unwieldy, especially regarding timezone entries.

And so, today, we’ve added keyboard onkeydown and oninput event logics to cater for several scenarios we can “shortcut” those user requirements, often down to the entry of a couple or a few characters, and from there click appropriate created links in …

  • intl “Internationalization Functions” extension

Our (Mac OS X laptop) local MAMP web server is an Apache/PHP/MySql web server. In this environment you can find out a lot with some PHP code as per …

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

… and if, in doing this, you find a reference to the “mbstring” Multibyte String Information functionality existing, you are a lucky candidate to introduce some internationalization code into your PHP code, for those occasions where the destination language uses a UTF-8 character set where individual characters can not be described by the ascii character set from decimal 0 to decimal 255. In other words, it takes more than one byte to describe each character of the language. There are many languages like this, a few being the Chinese languages, Japanese and Korean.

We followed a lot of the advice of the very useful link (thanks) to create some PHP called …

… where we show what we always suspected but were too shy to ask, and didn’t flesh it out before … doh! … you can’t split a Chinese phrase’s characters into their individual characters and expect those characters individually translated bring you back to the sense of the Chinese phrase to start with.

So we take the Chinese phrase 火车票 (which translates into English as “Train tickets” … and we thank Google Translate for help with all this) and use PHP mbstring’s mb_str_split to properly split the Chinese into its constituent multibyte (UTF-8) characters (and along the way, show that PHP str_split messes up this same task, as you’d probably guess would happen), and then translate all these into English using Google Translate, as an intellectual exercise.

If this exercise makes you …

  • a) fall on the floor laughing
  • b) hit a gong with a huge hammer
  • c) cook up some deep fried dumplings
  • d) put the left chopstick in the right ear and the right chopstick in the left ear (please ask for adult supervision) … translation: do not do this
  • e) while reading you sweep the cat under the rug (no animals were harmed in the making of this blog posting)

… then we’re here to tell you that you need to take a Bex and have a lie down.

We are just showing in PHP that if the mbstring functionality is available to you, that the mbstring library of functionality can help with some Internationalization issues you may be grappling with and that this PHP code you could try via this live run link.
