Get list of available languages - Ryubal - 07-21-2021
Hello guys, quick question.
Is there a built-in way to get a list of languages available? Or do I have to go the manual route, by scanning folder names in app/Language?
I'd like to provide a logged-in user with the languages available, so he can choose whichever he wants.

We usally add the languages that were going to use, you could create your own array and add the languages to it.
Updated 07-27-2021 Added helper method.
PHP Code:
/**
* Get a Language directory list
*
* Add to your own helper.
*/
if ( ! function_exists('getLangList'))
{
/**
* getLangList ()
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* USAGE:
*
* $list = getLangList();
* var_dump($list);
*
* @return array
*/
function getLangList()
{
helper('filesystem');
$temp = directory_map(APPPATH.'/Language', 1);
foreach ($temp as $key => $value)
{
$list[] = substr($value, 0, -1);
}
return $list;
}
}
This method willl return to you an array of all languages in the app/Language folder.
