but in this case, my browser address bar will show me : whatever.php? l=en for example. and this is not what i want. I want that browser shows in its address bar /en/whatever, but the page whatever.php will get the parameter l=en.
so how can i do that ?

You're still not getting it, so here it is step by step...

* User request http://yoursite.com/en/index.php

* Apache sees this request, matches the URL to a rewrite rule and *internally* rewrites the request so it looks like http://yoursite.com/index.php?lang=en - note that the browser does not get told anything about this process.

* The index.php script runs, reads $_GET['lang'] to see what language has been requested and generates the page as normal. Whenever it creates a URI it ensures that it's created so it starts with '/'. $_GET['lang'].'/...' to ensure the user continues with the same language.

Hope that makes sense. Now, please Google mod_rewrite, have a play with it on a local test server and try it. If you don't get it from the words, get it from the play!
