PHP standard in eZ: using single quotes in strings may cause problem with italian language

Saturday 20 November 2004 9:24:56 am

This sintax may cause problems with some languages (like italian):

$var = 'some text' ;

For example, the package function use a php code (compiled on cache) with:

$var = 'Seleziona un'icona da includere nel pacchetto.<br />
Se non vuoi alcuna icona clicca Successivo.' ;

The string "un'icona" is the correct italian translation for "an icon". Of course the apostrophe is interpreted as a closing quote by php. This will generate a fatal error.

<b>Possible solutions</b>
Change the italian messages with apostrophe (for example: un'icona may be una icona), but this will result on a bad italian...

More solutions?
