This is what http_accept_language gives me depending on which browser.
Depending on the visitor in my region, it will either be French or
English.
_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] en-us,en;q=0.8,fr;q=0.5,fr-ca;q=0.3
_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] fr-ca,en-us;q=0.5
Is this a reasonable approach?
if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"],"fr"))
{ include("french.htm");}else{ include("english.htm");}
No it's not unless you want to ignore the users preferred language. The
order is important in that header - the first language is the preferred
language. So in the first example you should serve english.htm and
french.htm in the second. If you only have english and french, your best
bet is to do the following...
if (substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2) == 'fr')
{
include('french.htm');
}
else
{
include('english.htm');
}
However, if you don't care about their preferred language, and want to
serve french.htm if they specify french at all in their language
preferences then what you've got will do that.
