perhaps my question is silly and very easy to solve but i´m very new in php and cand find the solution. I apologize in advance
I have a 3 languages (catalan, spanish, and english) web in subfolders (default one is catalan) and want to set a cookie to remember the visitors language and redirect them to the proper one the next visit. I have this code:
index.php (in catalan, default language):
<?php $lang=$_COOKIE["idioma"];
switch ($lang) {
case 'es':
header('Location:es/index-esp.php');
break;
case 'en':
header('Location:en/index-eng.php');
break;
}
?>
<html> ......
all the other pages : ("ca" for catalan ones, "es" for spanish ones and "en" for english)
<?php
setcookie("idioma", "es", time()+94608000);
?>
<html> ......
It doesn´t work. don´t generate any cookie when I change the language and every time I load the page is always in catalan (index.php)
thanks a lot

Re: language selection cookie
Do you have cookies enabled? is your code generating any errors?
Re: language selection cookie
I have enabled "cookies from everywhere". In the browser cookies list there are lots of cookies from many pages but not mine.
I´ve just made a test with index.php, idex-es.php, and only one sub-page in each language and don´t give me any error, but always start in catalan
(I´m doing it all in my localhost. I have the web in the net in just one language yet, www.ktrens.com
I would like to solve the language issue before uploading all.)

Re: language selection cookie
just for laughs, echo out $_COOKIE['idioma'] and make sure that it's returning the right value
Re: language selection cookie
thank you seandisanti,
I´ve solved it..
there was a problem in the localhost direction.
(I´ve also added a "/" parameter in the cookie function)
it seems it works fine now.
