need help with mysterious array initialization

[brixton]

Hello,

sorry for the cryptic thread subject :)

I'm examining some code at the moment and have come across the following:

$genders = array(
     'F' => __('Female', true),
     'M' => __('Male', true),
); 

Normally, if I were to init an array I would simply do:

$genders = array(
     'F' => 'Female',
     'M' => 'Male'
); 

So what's with the "__" and the boolean after the strings? This is part of a CakePHP app, if that is of importance.

Thanks in advance!

Hey.

I believe this is CakePHP's localization function.
See 4.8.1 Internationalizing Your Application in the CakePHP manual.

1. $genders = array(
2. 'F' => 'Female',
3. 'M' => 'Male'
4. );

Key must be within double quotes right.?

"F" => 'Female';
"M" => 'Male';
