I am struggling for quite a while now to get into translation files with PHP's gettext() function and creating the files with Poedit. Poedit didn't come with a helpfile either and I tried lots of things found online but nothing works.. I am on Mac OSX with an XAMPP configuration.

on OSX my XAMPP dir is

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/

inside this dir I created gettext.php with

<?php echo _("Hello World"); ?>

and the following folders:

/locale/
/locale/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES/

With Poedit when I do > File > New Catalog

Language: Italian
Country: Italy
Charset: UTF-8
Source code charset: UTF-8
Base path: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/

Than I save default.po to /locale/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES/

13:04:10: Poedit did not find any files in scanned directories.
13:04:11: Entries in the catalog are probably incorrect.
