cro_crx, you can certainly do that but differences in language grammar might result in the variable positions changing.
What I did was overload the line() function in the Language class to allow number-based arguments:
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Language extends CI_Language
{
function MY_Language()
{
parent::CI_Language();
}
/**
* Fetch a single line of text from the language array. Takes variable number
* of arguments and supports wildcards in the form of '%1', '%2', etc.
* Overloaded function.
*
* @access public
* @return mixed false if not found or the language string
*/
public function line()
{
//get the arguments passed to the function
$args = func_get_args();
//count the number of arguments
$c = count($args);
//if one or more arguments, perform the necessary processing
if ($c)
{
//first argument should be the actual language line key
//so remove it from the array (pop from front)
$line = array_shift($args);
//check to make sure the key is valid and load the line
$line = ($line == '' OR ! isset($this->language[$line])) ? FALSE : $this->language[$line];
//if the line exists and more function arguments remain
//perform wildcard replacements
if ($line && $args)
{
$i = 1;
foreach ($args as $arg)
{
$line = preg_replace('/\%'.$i.'/', $arg, $line);
$i++;
}
}
}
else
{
//if no arguments given, no language line available
$line = false;
}
return $line;
}
}
?>
It works the same way as the original function. Simply put MY_Language.php into your application/libraries folder and you can do stuff like this:
Code:
//in english
$lang['some_key'] = 'Some string with %1 %2.';
//in another language
$lang['some_key'] = 'Some string %2 with %1.';
//the actual usage
echo $this->lang->line('some_key','first','second');
Hope this helps.
