Hi , I´m trying to create a language switcher as the one posted here http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum-posts.php?postNum=2232984#post2232984   . Everything is clear except how are the links created: The user mattbcd says "Then created links for each ending in ?lan=eng and ?lan=de", but how?

Any suggestions here

Hi Carlos

I created two flag buttons, an English and German, which had href links applied of ?lan=eng and ?lan=de respectively.  This has the effect of adding a query to the URL, which is then picked up by the code. Now if you click on the English flag, you set the cookie to eng, likewise for German.

Thanks Matt

What I didn't know was how was the query added . But I did it with an if statement and a list record.


<?php if ($langRecord['lan'] == 'de'): ?> <?php $_COOKIE['lang Cookie']="de" ;?> <?php endif ?>


Thanks for answering!
