xgettext - PHP multiline strings

xgettext doesn't consider more texts concatenated using the dot operator in the PHP script as a single string and thus it splits them as separate entries in the .po file.

This patch fixes this bug. There are several limitations:


  • Only quoted texts can be concatenated (they can contain variables), it's NOT possible to concatenate a quoted text and a variable

    RIGHT: $x = "text1" . "text2 $variable";

    WRONG: $x = "text1" . $variable;

  • In case of multiline texts, it's NOT possible to use a comment between the parts of the text

    RIGHT: $x = _("text1".

    "text2");

  • WRONG: $x = _("text1". // first line

    "text2");
  • Only texts quoted with the same type of qoutes can ce concatenated.

    RIGHT: $x = "text1" . "text2"; // double-quotes

    WRONG: $x = "text1" . 'text2'; // double-quote and single quote



Althou there are few limitations this patch is quite good as it allows to split long texts to more lines and concatenate the with the dot.
