lang()
======
-.. php:function:: lang($line, $id = '')
+.. php:function:: lang($line, $for = '', $attributes = array())
:param string $line: Language line key
- :param string $id: ID of the element we're creating a label for
+ :param string $for: HTML "for" attribute (ID of the element we're creating a label for)
+ :param array $attributes: Any additional HTML attributes
:returns: string
This function returns a line of text from a loaded language file with
simplified syntax that may be more desirable for view files than
``CI_Lang::line()``.
-The optional second parameter will also output a form label for you.
Example::
- echo lang('language_key', 'form_item_id');
- // becomes <label for="form_item_id">language_key</label>
\ No newline at end of file
+ echo lang('language_key', 'form_item_id', array('class' => 'myClass');
+ // Outputs: <label for="form_item_id" class="myClass">Language line</label>
\ No newline at end of file
