[20:30:13] <sinni800> i dont really have a large project to use it for yet
[20:30:54] <sinni800> but i just wanted to say that... the documentation is pretty much full of one liners
[20:30:58] --> trevor_morse ([email protected]) has joined #phpc
[20:31:44] <sinni800> there's not much explanation because every function has just one goal
[20:32:53] <MoaiTheJinx> Yea, it can be a bit discouraging sometimes for me to look at small info like that.
[20:33:07] <sinni800> that's an interesting bit of info
[20:33:24] <sinni800> the pages in php with lots of info are better, for you?
[20:33:58] <sinni800> i agree its an interesting read
[20:34:37] <MoaiTheJinx> With additional info one what each parameter do, yes.
[20:34:57] <sinni800> MoaiTheJinx: but shouldnt that be clear?
[20:35:32] <sinni800> if a parameter needs explanation on what it does when, you can almost just replace the function with two functions ,with each kind of functionality
[20:35:41] <MoaiTheJinx> Yes. Sometimes, function names, with parameter names, with "data type" can be clear enough/self explanatory.
[20:36:11] <sinni800> MoaiTheJinx: give me an example where it isnt

[20:40:31] <MoaiTheJinx> The kind of function that has "Shortcut-names, abbreviation" you may not be familiar with, I thought I gave you an example. That uconverter thing.  Doesn't tell you what their CONSTANTS means for example.
[20:41:18] <sinni800> ah-
[20:43:30] <MoaiTheJinx> I guess I can just google search it, but these things do discourage me.
[20:43:42] <sinni800> i get what you mean
[20:43:52] <sinni800> yeah i dont even know either
[20:43:58] <MoaiTheJinx> I see some examples on how to use "Reousrce Bundle", seems to be a java thing, nothing by java documentation on resource bundle
[20:43:59] <sinni800> but in go they tend to prevent this
[20:44:33] <MoaiTheJinx> I am working on making my website bilingual.
[20:44:36] <DASPRiD> meh, can't packt stop asking me to write books? >_>
[20:45:03] <sinni800> MoaiTheJinx: why do you need that u-thing for that?
[20:45:29] <sinni800> just do everything in utf8
[20:46:01] <pmcgovern> converting data types is handy when importing data from external sources
[20:46:18] <pmcgovern> an example would be an ETL process for a price comparison engine
[20:46:23] <sinni800> pmcgovern: i sure agree... if you cant get it in utf8
[20:46:34] <sinni800> but i dont know, for i18n?
[20:46:37] <pmcgovern> sinni800: A lot of companies just have shit data
[20:46:45] <MoaiTheJinx> sinni800, honestly, I do not know. I was only curious for what that does. I was reading a bit about that on the ICU's website. http://userguide.icu-project.org/conversion/converters <-- I came to the ICU's website to learn how to use "MessageFormat" features.
[20:46:47] <Phergie> [ http://is.gd/UXNYDL ] Using Converters - ICU User Guide
[20:46:48] <pmcgovern> so enfircing a conversion to protect your bits is wortrhy
[20:46:53] <pmcgovern> *enforcing
[20:46:55] <MoaiTheJinx> I'm currently nto using that gettext thing.

[20:49:36] <MoaiTheJinx> Okay, here is the interesting thing I am reading at the moment: http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classMessageFormat.html#details
[20:49:38] <Phergie> [ http://is.gd/xOxMb4 ] ICU 52.1: icu::MessageFormat Class Refer...
[20:50:10] <MoaiTheJinx> sinni800, exactly!!!
[20:50:20] <MoaiTheJinx> That locale/language translate thingybob.
[20:50:36] -*- MoaiTheJinx is yawning a bit.

[20:50:52] <taion809> wonderful, this is very relevant to my interests
[20:50:59] <MoaiTheJinx> taion809, what is?
[20:51:18] <taion809> supporting multiple languages
[20:51:22] <MoaiTheJinx> :D
[20:52:04] <taion809> new requirement coming in at work so time to learn
[20:52:26] <MoaiTheJinx> Yea, and what else is a great find is this: http://devdocs.io/php/normalizer.normalize
