How to load a language using gettext in PHP?

Question

I created a language file in poedit to use the gettext function of PHP, now on the page where I am trying to test it, I can not get it to find / load the .po or .mo file that I created, does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

$locale = "en_US";
putenv("LC_ALL=$locale");
setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
bindtextdomain("default", "/includes/locale");
textdomain("default");

//my .po ad .mo file is located here /includes/locale/en/default.mo

Although I am trying to load the default English file, I changed the text in the file to make sure that it reads from the language file, and currently it only shows the default text and does not translate, I think I wrong maybe
