note 34967 added to ref.gettext

Of course, translation is only interesting if you provide the user with the language and encoding he asks for. Since there's part of the HTTP protocol that allows you to specify that, it's nice if one can use that information to pick the 'right' translation out of the ones you have available. I wrote something that does just that -- it parses the 'Accept-Language' and 'Accept-Charset' HTTP/1.1 headers, and tells you which one the user prefers out of a list you provide. You can download it at http://www.grep.be/articles/php-accept.php Note that even if the user's browser may support this, the user may not know about it; as such, it's probably good practice not to remove links to other-languaged versions, so that people can still get a version of your site in another language if they so prefer. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34967 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34967&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34967&report=yes
