Re: Multiple URLs and cookies

I don't know how it will work, or even if you can do whatever it is you are trying to do. I only know what won't work. header("Location:")+setcookie() in one script will not work on many browsers. At a guess, I'd say you'll have to include() the file the user was attempting to reach while switching languages rather than doing the redirect. Or, perhaps the content negotiationn will be sufficient. http://apache.org Or, maybe you'll need to have a language-switching page after all. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
