How to capture client browser address bar when click to an icon

[osward]

Hello everyone,

My site needs to support 3 different languages that runs under phpnuke 8.0, phpnuke provides language interface select function that allows switching from different interface, namely using different language files.

Every time when user is inside a module, when they click the language interface selection, it send the user back to the index page. I had found out a typical browser address to switch from language would read : http://mysite.com/ndex.php?newlan g=english

I had tried manually to alter the newlang=xxxx and it works and so as inside any other modules that won't send me back to index page. Therefore I could added different links in the module to let user switching language interface without leaving the module.

Here is what I want to achieve, I want to write a small function when user click a flag or link, the function capture the client's browser address and append the newlang=xxx and send it to the server to request the proper language. In this case I don't have to worry about adding links to every module manually.

What I really need is the code or php function to capture the user's browser address bar

Thanks in advance

Please help

Heya, osward.

It's never getting to the else in your code because $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] exists.

If you're trying to replace the value in each URL, consider modifying $_GET and using http_build_quer y() as I suggested above. Since each array key can only have one corresponding value, this will ensure that each _GET variable is only output once in the query string, even if its value has changed.

Hi, pbmod,

I finally got it done by appending &newlang=englis h to your pervious code posted

$_linkPrefix = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?' . http_build_query($_GET);

The link to the English interface now read $_linkPrefix&ne wlang=english

However, I still don't understand and haven't use the first part of the code you posted

<base href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?>" />

What do you mean by

If you have this in the head of your HTML:

I don't have any HTML documents here through the phpnuke. Am I missing you by a beat?

Heya, Osward.

The base tag allows you to specify sort of the 'prefix' for every link on your page.

I'm not too familiar with phpnuke specifically, but like any CMS, there should be a header file that you can edit that contains the HTML that goes at the top of every page.

Adding a base tag is not strictly necessary, but it makes it a lot easier to, for example, migrate your site to a new server or to make it easier to keep your link behavior consistent.
