A simple method to implement multi-language switching in php_php skills

the example in this article describes how to simply implement multi-language switching in php. share it with everyone for your reference, the details are as follows:

1. main program code:

<?php
include "lib/function.php";
?>
<script src="js/language.js"></script>
<?php
if(isset($_get["language"])){
  $_session["language"] = $_get["language"];
}else{
  $_session["language"] = getdefalutlanguage();
}
$language_name = getlanguagename($_session["language"]);
include "lang/".$language_name.".inc";
?>
<select name="language" id="language" onchange="changelanguage(this)">
<?php
  $language_array = array_language();
  foreach($language_array as $key => $value){
    if($_session["language"] == $value){
      $selected = "selected = 'selected' ";
    }else{
      $selected = "";
    }
?>
<option value="<?php echo $value;?>" <?php echo $selected;?>><?php echo getlanguagename($value);?></option>;
<?
  }
?>
</select>
<?php
  if($_get["language"] == $value){
      //$selected = "selected = 'selected' ";
    }
echo "语言：".$_session["language"];
echo "测试：".$name;
?>

2. language pack included: english.inc

<?php
$name = "name";
?>
chinese.inc
<?php
$name = "名字";
?>

3. contained function.php

<?php
 function getvailablelanguage() {
    $language = array(

    return $language;
  }
 function getlanguagename($language) {
    $languages = getvailablelanguage();
    return $languages[$language];
  }
 function array_language(){
  $array_language = array("en","zh");
  return $array_language;
 }
 function getdefalutlanguage(){
    return "zh";
 }

4. contained language.js

function changeLanguage(obj) {
  var url = document.URL;
  var re = re = /[?&]language=[^&]*/;
  url = url.replace(re, "");
  if (url.indexOf("?") > -1) {
    url += "&language=" + obj.value;
  } else {
    url += "?language=" + obj.value;
  }
  location.href = url;
}
