New page

Language strings are defined as follows:

<pre>$string['stringname'] = 'This is a string';</pre>

and are called via:

<pre>get_string("stringname","wherefrom")</pre>

If you wish to use a variable from the calling page in the string then you will need to use the following variation to call it:

<pre>get_string("stringname","wherefrom","passedvariable")</pre>

The variable can then be used in your string as follows:

<pre>$string['stringname'] = 'This is a string with a variable called {$a}';</pre>

Note that in Moodle 1.9, the { } are optional. From Moodle 2.0 onwards, they are required, so you should get into the habit of using them now.
