In your main page:
<?php
if (strstr($HTTP_REFERER, 'www.english.com')){
header("Location: www.english.com");
}
elseif (strstr($HTTP_REFERER, 'www.francais.com')){
header("Location: www.francais.com");
}
?>
Note: I usually swap the needle/haystack and have to look them up, but you
probably won't just use strstr anyway, so I didn't.

Subject: [PHP] PHP and cookies and/or headers
> Greetings,
>
> Is anyone REALLY familiar with PHP and cookies and/or headers-- I have a
> tough nut to crack and it involves three URLs.
>
> Here is the situation, and I really want to avoid using our DB if I can.
>
> I have a main URL that everyone will probably hit - splash page.
> www.mainurl.com
>
> From there, users go into either the french or english version of the site
> with two unique URLs...
>
> www.english.com
> www.francais.com
>
> I want it so that if users go back to the splash page, it will pick up
their
> language preference (french or english) and send them to the index page of
> either www.english.com or www.francais.com -- depending upon the last
> argument set when they were last at the site. So, if they ended on an
> english page, they would start at the english index page, but if the
> finished on a french page, they would start on the french index page.
>
> The problem with cookies is the fixed URL from which they can be read.
> Obviously www.mainurl.com cannot read a cookie set by www.francais.com --
so
> how can I over come this.
>
> I suppose I could do it via IP stored in a DB, but even then there is a
> problem as people who hide behind one IP -- say a large business --
> would be stuck using each others' preferences depending upon who used the
> site last.
>
> I also do not want the user to have to type in a code word so that the
> IP is tagged with a special identifier. I suppose I could use a random
> number generated from a time stamp... but I really want to avoid using a
DB!
> -- mostly for speed and bloat of page size reasons.
