Language Packs

[asgsoft]

I have a script and I want to add languages to it. The way I am going to do it is to use the GET method from the url. Defult language is english so if the url is page.php then it will be english, if the page is page.php?lang=fr then it will be french.

I started to do it like this but for some reason $lang is set to 1 rather than the language initials.

Look a this:

[code]
<?php
$lang = $_GET['lang'];
if($lang == "fr" || $lang == "FR"){
include "fr.tpl";
$lang = "fr";
}else{
include "en.tpl";
$lang = "en";
}
?>
[/code]


Another thing.

If I want to get a variable from the tpl file how will i do that?

At the moment I have :

[code]
echo "".$lang."_".tnos." $num_rows";
[/code]

to say the number of rows in the chosen language but it doesn't say anything.

Where have I gone wrong?

What is tnos? Is it a variable? Should it be $tnos?

[asgsoft]

in the english tpl files I have a variable called en_tnos and in french tpl file i have fr_tnos

If you call [a href=\"http://page.php?lang=fr\" target=\"_blank\"]http://page.php?lang=fr[/a]
and page.php has the following code:
[code]
<?php
echo $_GET['lang'];
?>
[/code]
What is then the result shown in your browser?

[/quote]
As only one file will be included (fr.tpl or en.tpl) you could probably name your variable $tnos in both files and use
[code]
echo $lang."_"."$tnos $numrows";
[/code]

It echos nothing
Will it matter if these urls are re-written by a .htaccess file?

for example show.php?id=3 is re-written to be some-text-3.php where 3 is the id of the file

Good idea I will use it and try it as soon as the above works.

The problem could be very well due to the rewrite, I have no clue.

[asgsoft]

because when I go to show.php?od=7&lang=en it echos en correctly.

What do you recommend I do?
