CI 2.0 language helper is not working correctly

[eluser]machureach[/eluser]
Can anyone help me?

I have a problem with:
$this->lang->load("menu", "english");

Above line print out like this:
$lang["menu_hom"] = "Home";
$lang["menu_set"] = "Setup";
$lang["menu_hel"] = "Help";

When I use below functions:
<?= lang("menu_hom"); ?>
or <?= $this->lang->line("menu_hom"); ?>
or <? echo lang("menu_hom"); ?>
or <? echo $this->lang->line("menu_hom"); ?>

Nothing print out.

You also need to create the language file.
application/language/english/menu

Code:

$this->load->helper('language');

$this->lang->load('menu', 'english');

// Above line print out like this:
$lang['menu_hom'] = 'Home';
$lang['menu_set'] = 'Setup';
$lang['menu_hel'] = 'Help';

// When I use below functions:
<?php echo $this->lang->line('menu_hom');?>

I mean when I use this [ $this->lang->load('menu', 'english'); ],
it prints out these:
$lang['menu_hom'] = 'Home';
$lang['menu_set'] = 'Setup';
$lang['menu_hel'] = 'Help';

it should keep it in memory not print to screen!
but when I use [ <?php echo $this->lang->line('menu_hom');?> ]
nothing print out.

Then you need to show your language file and Controller code!

for one thing, you can't use short tags <?= in CI 2.

@bsauls for one thing, you can’t use short tags <?= in CI 2.

And Why Not?

application/config/config.php

Code:

$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = TRUE;

Of course it depends on if it is turned on in php.ini.
