One way that I have used to separate the HTML from the PHP code is to create HTML snippets and include selected scripts as determined by the QUERY_STRING. $ifiles = explode('&', $QUERY_STRING); $urlpath = "http://www.xxx/";; // Or whatever your base URL happens to be foreach ( $ifiles as $ifile ) { $ifile = $urlpath.$ifile; include( $ifile ); } The selection of HTML snippets can then be controlled by a PHP script that picks out HTML snippets according to the language settings. Also, you can manage the site more easily if you can isolate individual "scriptlets" rather than wading through very long listing. It also lends itself to re-use of HTML code. You could, for example, hold HTML snippets in different directories according to the language and pass the subdirectory in the QueryString as well. It's just a thought.
