I'm just beginning to learn PHP. What do I have to do to use a language file in a php module. For ex: Let's take the following array in a prog. $lang_months = array('1'=>$LANG30[13], '2'=>$LANG30[14], '3'=>$LANG30[15], '4'=>$LANG30[16], '5'=>$LANG30[17], '6'=>$LANG30[18], '7'=>$LANG30[19], '8'=>$LANG30[20], '9'=>$LANG30[21], '10'=>$LANG30[21], '11'=>$LANG30[23], '12'=>$LANG30[24]); $m_num = date("n",strtotime($WorkDate)); $the_month= $lang_months[$m_num]; If I replace any value in the array I can see that it works. But using language file values doesn't. What do I have to do to make it work? Is there any include needed at the beginning of the prog.... ... I wonder if my question is understandable Thank you.

Well, of course you need to at least include the language file if you want to use its contents ... But I'd suggest you include lib-common.php instead since that will automatically pick the language file based on the settings of the current user. bye, Dirk

Oh, I forgot: If you're doing this in a function, you also need to declare $_LANG as a global variable: global $_LANG; bye, Dirk

That was it. global $_LANG; was missing. It now works. Thanks
