I found that PHP doesn't like ~ as a function name, but € is fine. After 
reading in the ini file or a portion of it I can now craft echos as such
echo €(123456, $l, "This is the default string.");
with the integer being the numeric key (alphanumeric would work as well, but 
with alphas in the key spellchecking the ini string file is a pita), $l the 
array that contains the string for the current script, and the optional string 
being a default text if the requested string is not found.
I may get back to it and refine the € function to pass things like a number or 
a date along that then needs to be inserted into the correct position, but I 
will see if I need this for my app. If anyone is interested in the functions 
let me know and I'll post them.

So long, gettext, maybe next time....
