I am doing a web site - with two language files English (en) and Spanish (es) This is my code:

PHP Code:

<?
$lang = $HTTP_GET_VARS["lang"];
if ($lang == "en") {
include ("./lang/en.php");
}
if ($lang == "es") {
include ("./lang/es.php");
}
if (!$lang) {
include ("./lang/en.php");
}
?>

My problem is when I click on a new link in the page the selected language is not used - it always goes back to the default english.

So do I need a bit of code at the end of each link on the page to say 'if lang has been selected - stay with selected lang' If thats the case what would the code be?
Or is there something else Im missing?


Please help

You'll have to include that bit of code on every page. Turn it into a function or include it in a class and just check at the beginning of every page before the header is draw.

I would use a switch construct because if the user's browser language is not used in your site, you can set english as the default.

PHP Code:

<?php
  
  switch ($lang = strtolower($_GET['lang']))
  {
    case 'es':
      include('./lang/es.php');
      break;
    default:
      include('./lang/en.php');
      break;
  }
  
?>
