Multi language - seo links

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Im trying to figure out the best method to have a multi language website that will function with seo friendly links.

The code that ive used many times before.....

Code: $_SESSION['lang'] = $lang = (isset($_GET['lang']) ?
mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_GET['lang'])) : (isset($_SESSION['lang']) ? $_SESSION['lang'] : 'en')); if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString"))
which i like as it refreshes the page that the viewer is on and pulls down info form the db with the correct extension i.e. about_en, about_it, about_de etc etc

The problem is when the user changes the language using with the follwing...

Code: if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])
{

echo "<a href="?{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}&lang=en">EN</a>";
}
else
{

echo "<a href="?lang=en">EN</a>";
}

?></li>
<li><?php if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])
{

echo "<a href="?{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}&lang=it">IT</a>";
}
else
{

echo "<a href="?lang=it">IT</a>";
}

?></li>
<li><?php if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])
{

echo "<a href="?{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}&lang=fr">FR</a>";
}
else
{

echo "<a href="?lang=fr">FR</a>";
the page refreshes but with '?lang=it' at the end of the address, therefore im 'presuming' the mod_rewrite will fail...

any ideas of what would be the best solution..

many thanks
