RE: PHP and cookies and/or headers

angela, this would work if people did not switch back and forth between langauges. We have many bilingual users who want print copies, for example, in french and english. Each time they click a little tab at the top, it will switch languages and sites too, BUT will remain with the corresponding text in the other language. thank you for your help so far, jeremy > -----Original Message----- > From: Angela [mailto:angela@localnetamerica.com] > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 8:57 AM > To: Jeremy Gillies; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: PHP and cookies and/or headers > > > On your splash page, instead of having it send the user > directly to either the english or > french site, first have it send to another page on that > domain along with a variable to > tell it whether it's english or french.
