scar5308 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am trying to set up a multi lingual web site.Currently, the following works well as a static menu but I would like to change it to a dropdown menu using if possible, the 'select onchange=' method so the user doesn't have to click on a OK or Select button.I would also like a message to appear in the drop down in its default state such as 'Select Language'I have a version at: [url=http://www.webwhiz.co.uk/lang5/langselect.php]http://www.webwhiz.co.uk/lang5/langselect.php[/url] which doesn't work either.I asked on the forum for help but nothing so far! (see Help with arrays please: [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,112413.0.html]http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,112413.0.html[/url] ) I have tried to sort this out but am not really a coder. The code I have so far is:[code]<? include_once ("./setstring.inc") ?><?= "<a href='" . $PHP_SELF . "?lang=pt-br'>Portuguese</a>" ?> |<?= "<a href='" . $PHP_SELF . "?lang=fr'>Français</a>" ?> |<?= "<a href='" . $PHP_SELF . "?lang=en'>English</a>" ?> |<?= "<a href='" . $PHP_SELF . "?logoff=1'>Logoff</a>" ?><? include ( setstring ( 'pt-br', './portuguese.php', 'fr', './french.php', 'en', './english.php') )?>[/code]I wouldn't mind getting either to work properly, both would be a bonus! A virtual beer is on offer for anyone who can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Not sure I would go about it this way but, using the variable your passing via url, I suppose one easy approach would be:[code]<?php if($_GET[lang] == 'pt') {include'portuguese.php';} elseif($_GET[lang] == 'sp') {include'spanish.php';} elseif($_GET[lang] == 'fr') {include'french.php';} else{include'english.php';}?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar5308 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for that but I am already using something similar for the initial page.What I wanted to do was; once the visitor has been directed to the page according to the $_GET[lang] I wanted to give them the option of selecting a different language. All the pages are just templates and the script calls up the various includes etc. according to the language detected from language specific include folders. I then wanted a drop down menu on the main page that would change the language include directory. I would therefore only have one set of pages with just the includes and perhaps some images changing according to the language either selected or detected.Hope that's clear :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
