I use SuSE Linux 7.3 distribution but I compiled 
PHP 4.2.0 from source as an apache module 
--with-apxs and --with-gettext=/usr

I also compiled gettext 0.11.2 from source. I tried also
--with-included-gettext in vain.

When I use gettext from command line, it works:

env LANG=sk_SK gettext -sd bsis "This I want to translate"
Toto chcem prelozit

or, when my locale is not in /usr/share/locale

env LANG=sk_SK TEXTDOMAINDIR=/web/bsis/locale gettext ....

The PHP script I use is:

putenv("LANG=sk_SK");
bindtextdomain("bsis", "./locale");
textdomain("bsis");
echo _("This I want to translate");

Running this script I always get only the english text.

Have you tried php.net/setlocale ?

Thanks,
when I use setlocale instead of putenv it works fine.

The documentation should be updated accordingly as, sticking on it, I lost a day doing trial and error.

Someone else might too...

Good idea.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
