.po to .mo convertor in php?

Question

i want a PHP script which can convert .po(Portable Object) as .mo(Machine Object) file? is any script available in PHP?

Answer 1

I have not tried it, but it looks like this PEAR package might help you. It is unmaintained, but maybe you can be the new maintainer?

If you can read Python, then you can take a stab at converting their msgfmt.py script to PHP. It's only 200 lines or so.

Answer 2

You could run msgfmt using exec() or similar. I don't know if there is a PHP-only way to do it.
