# Messages
|
|
|
|
Kohana has a robust key based lookup system so you can define system messages.
|
|
|
|
## Getting a message
|
|
|
|
Use the Kohana::message() method to get a message key:
|
|
|
|
Kohana::message('forms', 'foobar');
|
|
|
|
This will look in the `messages/forms.php` file for the `foobar` key:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
return array(
|
|
'foobar' => 'Hello, world!',
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
You can also look in subfolders and sub-keys:
|
|
|
|
Kohana::message('forms/contact', 'foobar.bar');
|
|
|
|
This will look in the `messages/forms/contact.php` for the `[foobar][bar]` key:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
return array(
|
|
'foobar' => array(
|
|
'bar' => 'Hello, world!',
|
|
),
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
* Don't use __() in your messages files, as these files can be cached and will not work properly.
|
|
* Messages are merged by the cascading file system, not overwritten like classes and views.
