Hi,
mostly (90%) websites are designed to include localization (made in
php) folder like following:
www.mywebsite.com/en/
www.mywebsite.com/de/
www.mywebsite.com/fr/
why do they not use only 1 folder and use dynamically PHP to change
localization of website ?
who says the 'folders' (directories) en, de, fr et al actually exist?
has this something to do with search engine rating ?
amongst other things, it's also a way of passing along the
requested translation with requiring cookies
thanks a lot,
Al.
sorry but i miss the point here...
if we have http://ww.mywebsite.com/en/index.php, you mean that in fact
it can be http://ww.mywebsite.com/index.php?lang=en.
but in this case why and how is it possible to see
http://ww.mywebsite.com/en/index.php in the adress bar of my browser ?
i mean if i do not have access to apache :-)
You need to find out if your host has mod_rewrite installed and allows
it to be overridden in .htaccess. If it can then that's how you can do
it. If not then I suggest you find another host because the one you're
with clearly doesn't match your requirements.
Bottom line is that this really isn't hard. Please Google mod_rewrite to
understand what it does and how it works. There is no browser
involvement whatsoever.
the poor man's equivalent is to set the 404 error handler to /index.php
and have it send out a 200 HTTP header if it can actually match the request
to some content. ... this is also easily findable on the intertubes.
