I made a php script that allows me to switch the language of my website and for that, I used a cookie called lang to store the user's language prefer but I don't Know why this cookie can't be set as I can't find it in the chrome developer tap .. Although I made this script also with session variable in case cookie isn't set, it doesn't work either, as it shifts the language whenever I change the page
this is my PHP script
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_GET['lang'])) {
$lan = $_GET['lang'];
$_SESSION['lang'] = $lan;
setcookie("lang", $lan, time() + (3600 * 24 * 30), '/');
} else if (isset($_SESSION['lang'])) {
$lan = $_SESSION['lang'];
} else if (isset($_COOKIE['lang'])) {
$lan = $_COOKIE['lang'];
} else {
$lan = 'en';
}
include "languages/" . $lan . ".php";
?>
I have two files in that language folder en.php and ar.php and each one contains an array with translation like below
<?php
$lang = array(
"Give" => "Give",
"Blood" => "Blood",
"Register as a donator" => "Register as a donator",
"Search for a donator" => "Search for a donator"
I include my script in all my site's pages
here is my chrome developer tap screen shot
any thoughts?
