php - Language - automatic and by user -

i´m trying play around languages , own database/cms structure. i´ve got far, browserset language selected. works well. know there better solutions (other domains each language, i´ve google´d lot)...with own added cookie (setcookie) worked, too.

$lang = substr($_server['http_accept_language'], 0, 2);  $langcookie = $_cookie['language'];  if(!empty($langcookie)){     $lang = $_cookie['language']; }    if($lang == en){ //select database, got 3 languages, text (en), textother1 (otherlang1) , textother2 }elseif($lang == xy){ //other selecet }else{ //select if nothing fits } 

my problem @ point is:

how can let user choose language select on page. want let user choose language select...but can´t done set cookie selected option...

i know have got reload page after (header_location), can´t further...

any or tipps solving nice.

i think can use method sent request page, add language code paramter, check whether parameter exists -- if not, take value it's now.

you can use markup example:

<form id="langform" action="" method="get">     <select name="lang" onchange="this.form.submit();">         <option value="en">english</option>         <option value="fr">french</option>     </select> </form> 

then on-server side should check if lang parameter exists:

<?php  if( isset( $_get ) && ! empty( $_get['lang'] ) ) {     // } else {     // else }  ?> 

hope helps!
