language switch problem

[rilana]

Hello everyone

I am making a multilanguage site. Meaning that the english Navigation will have a little (d) for german.

And by clicking on it the same page from a different folder should be displayed. So far I cam up with:

 

<?php 

function sprache() { 

switch($_REQUEST['language'])
{
case 'englisch': 	HEADER("Location:/english/");
				break;
case 'deutsch':	    HEADER("Location:/deutsch/");
}

}  
?>

 

For the header in each document and

 

<a href="?language=deutsch">deutsch</a>

for the link that should call the funktion

 

I am shure that this should be a verry easy task, but my knowledge of php and coding

are not verry good as you can see. I realy would aprechiate to get some help, some pointers

how to get this thing working.

 

Thank you verry much, Rilana

Try like this

=========

 

case "english":

header("Location: " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/english/");

exit;

break;

 

case "deustch":

header("Location: " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/deustch/");

exit;

break;

thanks

 

something is defenetly happening now. but it doesn't work fully yet.

When I klick on de (d) it cant find the page because it is looking in the

wrong directory. I used this code....

 

<?php 

function sprache() { 

switch($_REQUEST['language'])
{
case "english":
header("Location: " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "../english/");
exit;
break;

case "deutsch":
header("Location: " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "../deutsch/");
exit;
break;
}

}  
?>

 

And unsted of going ../english it goes english/deutsch maby the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] has something to do with that.

thats why I tryed ../deutsch but it still doesn't work.

 

Thanks again.

Don't use "../english" or "../deutsch" in the location path.

 

if your website url for english version is http://yoursite.com/english means,

just use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/english"

 

Got it?

 

 

[rilana]

yes, but it still goes english/deutsch unstead of just deutsch

[rilana]

could it be that me link <a href="?language=english"> </a> is wrong?

 

[sureshp]

Try by using /?language=english

ok it must be someting with my navigation file, cause when I put the link directely in the page without include then the script works.... I think I will figure it out now! thanks a lot
