Hi,
i'm thinking to make a multi languages application using PHP.
basically people should go to indx.php and can select 1 of the 4
languages available.
once chosen, application redirect to:
- www.myapp.com/en for english
- www.myapp.com/fr for french
- www.myapp.com/es for spanish
- www.myapp.com/de for german
i know that there are several way how to do it, but i also want to make
it easy for SEO.
1. basically the first thought would be to create folders /en, /fr, /es,
/de for each language but it would force me to have 4 times the same
code and from maintenance point of view that's not good.
2. another approach would be to have a variable $lang in a session and
to add it to each URL. However how to retrieve it easily when user will
be on page www.myapp.com/fr/controlpanel/profile.php for example ?
3. we could also use the .htaccess file and rewrite URL, but how to
retrieve the language parameter from URL ? or should it be in session
variable ?
i don't know what is the best way and especially the more secured.
I would appreciate any feedback.
thx
