Multilanguage Site From Single Translation Table

Hello,

I have used Single Translation Table Approach to make multilanguage site in PHP. You may see here

The current index page is not working.

My objective is to have one example to use these tables and display one working page. For example: It should work like this by using those tables (app_language, app_product, app_translation, app_translation_entry).

What i did so far on my home page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php session_start();	
	$_SESSION['current_language'] = "fr";
	$con = mysql_connect("localhost","worksite","");
	if (!$con)
	{
		die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	}
	mysql_select_db("worksite", $con);
?>	
<?php	
// handle language selection
if(in_array($_GET['lang'], $languages)) 
{
    $_SESSION['lang'] = $_GET['lang'];
}

// define LANG constant only if it exists in $languages array, otherwise default to EN
define('LANG', in_array($_SESSION['lang'], $languages) ? $_SESSION['lang'] : 'fr');
define('LANG', in_array($_SESSION['lang'], $languages) ? $_SESSION['lang'] : 'en');

// display language options
foreach($languages as $language) {
    echo '<a href="?lang='.$language.'">'.$language.'</a>';
}
	$sql = "SELECT p.*, l.name as language_name, te.field_text as title
        FROM `app_product` p
        INNER JOIN `app_translation_entry` te ON p.title = te.translation_id
        INNER JOIN `app_language` l ON te.language_code = l.code
        WHERE p.id = 1";
if($result = mysql_query($sql)){
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
        echo "Language (".$row["language_name"]."): ".$row["title"]."<br>";
    }
}
// Retrieve appropriate title according to the chosen language in the system
$sql = "SELECT p.*, l.name as language_name, te.field_text as title
        FROM `app_product` p
        INNER JOIN `app_translation_entry` te ON p.title = te.translation_id
        INNER JOIN `app_language` l ON te.language_code = l.code 
        WHERE p.id = 1 AND 
              te.language_code = '".$_SESSION['current_language']."'";
if($result = mysql_query($sql)){
    if($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
        echo "Current Language: ".$row["title"];
    }
}
?>	
</body>	
</html>	

You may edit this file as you wish but it should be working as per example link (demo).

 

I want to build static website from above approach. 

 

Thanks in advanced for your time and input.
