Multilanguage problem solving with an arry?

[Henk de Wit]

I’m using a multilanguage script to change from lanquage.

Now I’m having troubles to change from a language when I’m at the default language (English)

 

The site looks like:

 

example.com ( Main directory)

example.com/fr/

example.com/es/

 

When I’m at example.com/fr/blabla/index and I want to go to example.com/es/blabla/index it works fine.

 

But when I’m at example.com/blabla/index and I want to go to example.com/fr/blabla/index . I’m redirect to example.com/fr/index

 

I’m using:

 

    <?php

    function switchLanguage($lang) {

        $u = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

        $u[1] = $lang;

        return implode('/', $u);

    }

 

    ?>

 

 

So it’s logic that I’m not redirect to the correct path because there is no directory /eng.

 

I was thinking is it possible to rewrite the url using a array?

Something like this:

 

 

    <?php

    function switchLanguage($lang)

    $array1 = array(' ', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

    $array2 = array('$lang', ' ');

    $newArray = array_combine($array1, $array2);

   

    foreach ($newArray as $key ) {

            echo "$key $value";

    }

 

    ?>

 

 

But how can I get the value in a url or where Am I going wrong.

 

To use a database or .ini and geoip caching is not an option
