Urgent help with variables required

[Comlink]

Hi all

Thanks for taking the time to read this...

I am currently writing a website using PHP and passing variables in the URL.

The site is bilingual and all pages that I want translated will get a ?lng=afr attached when the link is clicked (eg. main/index.php?lng=afr)

However, my news and calendar script also passes their own variables to the URL. Is there any way to actually append these variables (?month=1&year=2003 etc) when the link is clicked, rather than replacing the existing URL?

I can fix the problem, but for some reason I also don't seem to be able to use the $lng variable in any included page - but rather only in the main page. Is there any way to made the variable availible using a different tag from include ?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Comlink

Of course. You just append them where the link URL is printed.
If they are already coming from the query string, you can use the $_GET superglobal array to access them.

Perhaps I'm not clear on this.

I want to append the variable, but I am not sure which variables are in the URL when I do the appending. Is there any way to say "use the current url with all the variables in it and add this extra one"?

You could use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

However, I think that it is better if you plan out the use of such variables, and append as necessary.
