You can't do setcookie and Location: in the same page.
Once they picked a language, set the cookie and return the HTML content for
that home page, don't redirect.

Subject: [PHP] Multiple URLs and cookies
> 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

> The trouble is... the lang_swap.php will not set the cookie for the
language

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.
