How to load language with gettext in PHP?

Question

I have created a language file in poedit for the use of the PHP gettext function, now on the page I am trying to test it on, I cannot get it to find/load the .po or .mo file

I suspect it's your path.

Is "/includes/locale" the correct directory on your host? Or is that relative to something? Note: you need the full pathname, not relative to your home directory or the install directory. so that might be something like:

• C:/xampp/htdocs/include/locale
• /var/www/include/locale
• /home/username/include/locale
• etc

What is the full directory where it's found?
