Help with a code snippet

[shmideo]

Hey guys

 

Been working on a little code to display the word 'Search' is different langages depending on the url, ie. /es etc.

I think I am very close. The code just displays the $ rather the value. Code is below:

 

Thanks

<?php /* Multi Language Search */

$pageURL = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];


if(preg_match("~/de/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Suche";

}elseif(preg_match("~/it/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Ricerca";

}elseif(preg_match("~/sv/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Sökning";

}elseif(preg_match("~/nb/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Søk";

}elseif(preg_match("~/fr/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Recherche";

}elseif(preg_match("~/nl/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Zoeken";

}elseif(preg_match("~/es/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Buscar";

}elseif(preg_match("~/en/~",$pageURL)){

$search_language = "Search";

}else{

$search_language ="Søg";

}

?>

<div id="search">

                <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">

                    <fieldset>

                    <input id="s" type="text" value= echo $search_language name="s"  class="text" onblur="if(this.value == '') this.value = '$search_language';" onfocus="if(this.value == '$search_language') this.value = '';" />

                    <input id="x" type="submit" value="" class="button" />

                    </fieldset>

                </form>

            </div>

 value= echo $search_language   should be  value="<?php echo $search_language; ?>"

 

Additionally this could be replaced

 onblur="if(this.value == '') this.value = '$search_language';" onfocus="if(this.value == '$search_language') this.value = '';"

with just  placeholder="<?php echo $search_langauge; ?>"

Thank you so much Ch0cu3r for that, it works!

Strangely though when clicking on the search the word no long dissapears, so you have to overwrite it for your search query wheres before it cleared when clicked.

Forgot to mention when using  placeholder="<?php echo $search_langauge; ?>"  you wont need  value="<?php echo $search_langauge; ?>"

So your search box will be just

                    <input id="s" type="text" name="s" class="text" placeholder="<?php echo $search_language; ?>" />
