PHP gettext not working on shared hosting

[jerrico22]

I've shared hosting by asphostportal. Can anyone tell me how to get PHP gettext working on shared hosting? This is code I tried:

function namesti_jezik($jezik='rs')
{   
    // Set language to German
    putenv('LC_ALL='.$jezik);
    setlocale(LC_ALL, $jezik);

    // Specify location of translation tables
    bindtextdomain($this->CI->config->item('aplikacija_domen'), "./lokal");

    // Choose domain
    textdomain($this->CI->config->item('aplikacija_domen'));

    $param=array(
        'jezik'=>$jezik
    );

    $this->CI->session->set_userdata($param);

    // Translation is looking for in ./locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/myPHPApp.mo now
}

and

function namesti_jezik($jezik='rs')
{   
    putenv("LANG=".$jezik); //not needed for my tests, but people say it's useful for windows

    setlocale( LC_MESSAGES, $jezik);
    bindtextdomain($this->CI->config->item('aplikacija_domen'), dirname(BASEPATH).'/lokal');
    textdomain($this->CI->config->item('aplikacija_domen'));

    $param=array(
        'jezik'=>$jezik
    );

    $this->CI->session->set_userdata($param);
}

The first one works on development machine. Both of these don't work on shared hosting and I have locales I need enabled. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

my code works fine it Depends on your hosting. i have account and asked they install php-gd extension, other than that your code it free of external dependencies? So they installed php-gd and it worked for me...

I would contact the hosting company and ask them to install php-gd, it should work for you.
