Given: debian10 + apache2 + gettext package installed. Having a .php file with some php+html code. I try ot use xgettext to grab the strings for translation from this .php file and save them into .pot file. From the instruction (https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-xgettext/):
xgettext testfile.php -o locale/pot/testfile.pot
The "locale" folder and "testfile.php" file are in the same directory. Also "locale/pot" folder is 777 writable, also "testfile.php" is 777 too. When i run from shell (from root) the command, mentioned above, there is no testfile.pot generated. I also tried adding the --debug option, but no information/no errors in shell. What can be the reason?
UPD: i have just also tried:
xgettext testfile.php -o locale/pot/testfile.pot --debug --force-po
and with --force-po it creates a file "testfile.pot" but without strings for translation - only template with content:

So still no luck...
