PHP - Multi Language Site (newbie)

Hello everyone
For a multilingual website we have to be able to open 1 page in 4 different languages. For example, product 'A' is in Dutch, English, French and German. How can I open the right language file? At the moment I use Code: [Select]
http://www.zinncosmetics.nl/shop/product_info.php?products_id=36?language=de but it doesn't work. It allways opens the default Dutch pages. What do I do wrong?
I don't have very much php experience (newbie) so please don't make it too difficult for me. 
Thanks for all help!

i created a insert php code which successfully submit to database but i was lost at some point because what i really wanted was a php code that will print on the next page after submission to db

I have textfield for signature in my form, I m checking if the signature was sent ( if(!empty($_POST['signature']))   
and if it's not empty I m putting it into the db.

The problem is that, I have noticed a greek user has entered something in greek letters, and function could not deal with it and saved it as it is.( DB field supports greek charset )

I just want to allow english and german chars with special chars ( ",',< etc. ) , no other charset like greek.
How can I do that? any function for this purpose ?

are all languages possible to be inserted into database and be retrieved directly??

eg: write down the japanese words in the textbox and INSERT those into table and retrieve it using mysql_fetch_array()

Is that as simple as that, or i have to modify certain script...for certain language?
thanks

Hi again PHP Freaks. So I would like to code something similar to the buy menu of Counter-strike: Global offensive in-game module, just in a browser and for a project of mine. I've made the design in photoshop to illustrate better. I just don't know what I should look into to make this kind of menu, I would love if someone could explain me what languages that this would require. (I'm guessing HTML, CSS and jQuery but I am not sure) more specific help like which particular codes would be much appreciated.   Here is a picture of what I would like to create.

Hi,
I am trying to append a language session like this:

Code: [Select]
$ATC_itemWeight = floatval("".$row_productos_RS['capacidad_'.$_SESSION['session_idioma'].''];
but I get this error
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /usr/home/mysite.com/web/productos_esp.php on line 121
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hello,

I am currently making a small website that requires two languages. This is the class I made:

Code: [Select]
<?php

class languages {
  public function __construct() {
    if(!isset($_SESSION['language'])) {
      $_SESSION['language'] = 'nl';
    }

    $lang = isset($_GET['lang']) ? $_GET['lang'] : "";
    $languages = array('en', 'nl');

    if(in_array($lang, $languages)) {
      $_SESSION['language'] = $lang;
    }
  }
}

$languages = new languages;

$language = $_SESSION['language'];

?>
Now as soon I use index.php?lang=en, the website will display it self in English but, as soon I remove the &lang=en from the URI, the language gets not stored in the session and it displays nl agian.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you!

I got site wirch I like tu turn to multilanguage.
Code: [Select]
<?=$home_jezik?>This is my variable for language code. So I wonna add it to
Code: [Select]
<?php echo $redak['novost_naslov_hr']; ?>so that  "hr" change to "en" or any other language. I try with this but nothing happens
Code: [Select]
<?php echo $redak['novost_naslov_.$home_jezik']; ?>

what's the best way to have a website in 2 languages?
I already have the website duplicated in the 2nd language but I'm thinking on the best way to do the language change.

should I just append variables to the URL when clicking on the flag icon on each page to change to the 2nd language?

any other ideas??

Hi! I want to have a first page on my website where you as visitor can choose the preferred language. No login at all.
I want to save this choice in a cookie or something. The easiest way
So next time he/she visits, the language choice is already made for he/she.

Any good suggestions for a php code that works?

I came across usage of ^= in one the password hashing codes and am trying to find what this operator means in PHP.

At the minute i am using variables in my tpl files in place of plain text so users can change the language the page is shown in. eg. the tpl file would include:
$lang->hello;
and the replacement would be
$lang['hello'] = 'hello';
the php file would include the language class which replaces the variable in the language file with the array value in the relevant language file.
but what happens when i have a phrase with a needed variable in the middle?
$lang['msgs'] = 'you have '.$msgs.' messages';
i cant have 'you have' and 'messages' as seperate lang variables as phrases are constructed differently in other languages? so how do i accomplish this? hopefully i habe explained this ok.

I am developing a multilingual site. I use array to save translations in one file which I include it inside settings.php.
Code: [Select]
//Example of english
$LANG['welcome']="Welcome";
$LANG['status']="Status";
I am wondering about two things:

1. How would be the best option to print those arrays?
a)
Echo all html and inside html I use
Code: [Select]
echo "
<body>
<div>
<p>{$LANG['welcome']}</p>
</div>
";b)
Close php and write html and inside html I open and close php for each time
Code: [Select]
<div><p><?php echo $LANG['welcome']; ?></p></div>
Each one has own downsides. Option a) spends extra resources to print html. Option b) spends extra resources to close and open php each time (could means that single script needs to open and close php even 30 times per script). Is that bad or is the ammount of resources spend for this negligible?

2.
Also how do you translate words inside javascript? I was thinking to put all translation that are need for javascript into $LANG['js'] array. Then I would use at the head of the script foreach $LANG['js'] to print html to assign javascript language variables.
Code: [Select]
<script type="javascript">
<?php
foreach($LANG['js'] as $keyword => $translation){
  echo "var ".$keyword."= ".$translation.";\n";
}
?>
</script>Is there any better way?

Thank you!

I have mixed text with emails. Some are .com, .co.uk, .it, .se, dk, de, and so on.

<form action="mail.php" method="post"> <textarea name="emails" value="emails"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Subscribe"> </form>
<?php $emails = $_POST["emails"]; 
//$email = explode/ltrim/array/string/all of that
echo $emails;

All the emails, unfortunately.

blabla1@hotmail.com
blabla2@hotmail.de
blabla3@yahoo.com
blabla4@hotmail.es
blabla5@gmail.es 
...

But how can I have with one language, example I would have only .de:

blabla1@hotmail.de 
blabla2@hotmail.de 
blabla3@gmail.de 
blabla4@yahoo.de 
blabla5@gmail.de 
...

and next I would have only .se, and so on.

Can you tell me? I am newbie.
