Right in my php site i do it by using one template file.

index.php?dir=XXXXXXXXX&page=home

What ever the $dir is and $page is dertermines what page it includes and what directory from. Simple really :)

Right i go board when working so i had to go to intergrate babelfish. Now i cant use it like a normal site due to i have a large nav so i changed to a java one. Right soooo what i did was config it so i have

index.php?dir=challengesimon&page=home&lang=en_de

The way i coded it, it worked and it changed the included file languge. Brillaint :D

Now from saving me doing 5 other .php files with one in french.php one german.php etc can I do it so no matter what link someone clicks in the nav. So like they clicked index.php?dir=downloads&page=home and they are on the page index.php?dir=tips&page=who&lang=en_de . It changes pages to the link they keeped yet still it keeps the lang=en_de on the new url.

Cause like different languges have different exstentions..

lang=en_de
lang=en_sp
lang=en_fr
lang=en_jp

Understand??? :D

Cheers and hope you understand hehehehe

And your problem is..


...I didn't really understand...

could you show us the site you are having this problem [ which i do not understand either ] and then the code?

I'm not a PHP coder, only Perl... but I *think* I get what you mean. When your visitor chooses a particular language, you want that language preference to stay the same no matter where they venture on your site.. is this right?

Depending on your script....
* try using cookies to remember their preferences
* hard code the default language as "en_de" or whichever you prefer, when no language is selected.
* internally code your script to replace all the links (eek!) probably the slowest choices of them all... but like I said, it depends on your script and how you're pulling your pages.

A more precise explanation on what you are trying to accomplish might help you get the right solution from some of the PHP experts here.

Best of Luck!

Sorry my grammer skills are a little poor :( > Yea thats the one Pearl. Wants it to stay with the users. My Coding is not tooo strong so someone may have to give me a hand :p. The default language is already there on the page :)

anyway, if you could post your code maby we coudl change it and make it work, and yes i do like dance! z103.5 RADIO! :)

echo "Error HTML Code";

I dont like giving out my site code just incase some little bugger in the same community uses it :p

You could use str_replace to replace all referances to index.php with : 'index.php?lang=*'.
