Create POT file with Poedit

I'm trying desperately to create a catalog (. In) for my new application in php. 1) I created a file "trans.php" where I put all the values ​​to be translated

For example, here is my file:

<?php 

echo _e('SORTIR LA NUIT');

?>

2) I open Poedit, in the "Paths" here's what I entered (see photo) Then I save the same location of my file "php".

paths configuration in Poedit

3) When I click "update", I have the following errors:

12:25:43: No files found in: /Users/aweaoftheworld/Desktop/test
12:25:43: Poedit did not find any files in scanned directories.
12:25:43: Entries in the catalog are probably incorrect.
12:25:43: Updating the catalog failed. Click on 'More>>' for details.

Can you help me?

Sincerely,

Solution

  • you should use _ instead of _e, for example

    <?php echo _("hi there i am gettext library") ?>

    by the way, _e function is from Wordpress engine, it doing same but it's not PHP predefined function.
