PO, MO translation files

I want make a multi-language app I heard about .po files but I can't locate it I made this code

I made a directory in my application called languages and I put the ar_EG.po file in it and I tried languages\ar\LC_MESSAGES but it dosen't work too 

putenv('LC_ALL=ar_EG');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ar_EG', 'ara_EGY');

$domain = 'ar_EG';
bindtextdomain($domain, "./languages"); // I think the error here
textdomain($domain);

// to verify that localization is enabled and it works as intended:
echo strftime("%A %B %Y", strtotime("01/30/2013")), "<br>";

echo gettext("login"); // here not working
