Hello all!
Okay, still going at it with PHP vs. JavaScript -- although one can remove
the power if they disable cookies -- in fact, with the way it is set up
here, it is doubtful they will get to the right page if they switch
languages, but i can work that out later with a simple if-then statement
that will create the link -- a test to see if cookies are enabled then print
the correct URL.
1) Joe: I used the index (splash.php) and choice pages (choice.php) as per
your suggestion. It works without a hitch. The cookie is set and it goes
accordingly from the splash.php page once you have mad a selection.
2) Angela: I have added a third page to this mix, a lang_swap.php which is
called from the document that people are looking at. So now it goes from a
language button on a doc, passes a document id to the lang_swap.php page
where a similar process tot he choice.php page takes place, sets the cookie
value to the other language, and kicks it back to the french version of the
english document (and vice-versa). It's all pretty quick, so i'm not worried
about the page requests and lag.
The trouble is... the lang_swap.php will not set the cookie for the language
change. If i swap to french and then i go back and load the splash page, it
send me to the english-front again, but it should send me to the
french-front... i was having this problem before when i was trying to get
this all to work... once the variable was set, i could not get it to change.
Thanks for your help and in advance of some more!

The splash.php is as follows:

<?php
if ((IsSet($lang)) || ($lang = "1") || ($lang = "2"))
switch($lang)

exit;
break;
case 2:
header("Location: http://www.franch.com/french-front-page.php");
exit;
break;
