PHP Multilanguage GET parameters

I'm building multi-language support for PHP page. Let's say I have a page url:

http://mypage.php?user=eric&city=newyork

What is the common solution to switch between get parameters lang=en and lang=es while keeping the get parameters already in the url?

Solution

  • A useful script that returns the relative URL of the current page with the current "GET data". 

    <?php 
function getCurrentURL() { 
    $currentURL = basename($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); 
    $i = 0; 
    foreach($_GET as $key => $value) { 
        $i++; 
        if($i == 1) { $currentURL .= "?"; } 
        else { $currentURL .= "&amp;"; } 
        $currentURL .= $key."=".$value; 
    } 
    return $currentURL; 
} 
?>

    modify it and concatenate your language parameters accordingly
