2. google "apache mod_rewrite", that way you can rewrite urls of the form www.example.org/de/whatever to www.example.org/whatever?lang=de or even stick the de part into an environment variable $_ENV['lang'] = 'de' - Tul
the mod_rewrite is possible only if i own/manage the apache server but i my case, i have a provider for that so it is not possible. can you explain a little bit more the $_ENV purpose ? because for me it's like a simple session variable nothing more. how do you use it ? i mean the concept... the concept is that you use mod_rewrite for apache (also works in litespeed httpd btw). using mod_rewrite you rewrite the request from www.example.com/fr/index.php to www.example.com/index.php and part of that is that it also sets the environment variable _ENV[lang] to 'fr' for example. Please look up the documentation for mod_rewrite if you want more info.
