Language menu

prosenberg

I had nice functioning language menu on my pages. Basicly it changed the string in address bar. For example www.mywebsite.com/en/index.php could be changed to www.mywebsite.com/fi/index.php.

Anyway, after some upgrading on my hosting company server the script does not work anymore. :queasy: I tested on some other server and it worked fine. So I am just wondering what they have done on the server. I am really unhappy with that because it worked before but not anymore. When I am on the www.mywebsite.com/en/index.php page and trying to change the string from "en" to "fi" it just goes back to the root www.mywebsite.com.

Could there be some updates on php or Javascript which causes the problem?

Here is the source code:

<?php
$position = $PHP_SELF;

$land = substr($position, 0, 4);

$en = str_replace("$land", "/en/", $position);
$fi = str_replace("$land", "/fi/", $position);
$de = str_replace("$land", "/de/", $position);
?>
<form>
<select name="Sprachen" size="1" onChange="Go(0,this.form.Sprachen.options[this.form.Sprachen.options.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="nothing">Choose language</option>
<option value="nothing">-------</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $en; ?>'>EN</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $fi; ?>'>FI</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $de; ?>'>DE</option>
</select>
</form>

if(x == "nothing")
{
document.forms[n].reset();
document.forms[n].elements[0].blur();
return;
}
else
{
document.forms[n].reset();
document.forms[n].elements[0].blur();
arg=x.split("|");
if ( arg[0] == 0 )
{
window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/" + arg[1];
}

}
}
</script>

If anybody can help or provide the way around this it would be really appreciated.

the substr function returns the part of string defined by the 2nd and 3rd parameters, the second being the starting position and the 3rd being the length. what is likely happening is that the values doesn't match your website address. you'll have to change them to match it

Jeah, I know what you mean with the substr function. Interesting thing is that it has been working with those attributes.. Starting point is zero so right after the www.mywebsite.com. Length is 4 so it should be with /fi/ extension. I noticed some errors in my code already but now it is fixed like that:

<?php
$position = $PHP_SELF;

$land = substr($position, 0, 4);

$en = str_replace("$land", "/en/", $position);
$fi = str_replace("$land", "/fi/", $position);
$de = str_replace("$land", "/de/", $position);
?>
<form>
<select name="Sprachen" size="1" onChange="Go(0,this.form.Sprachen.options[this.form.Sprachen.options.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="nothing">Choose language</option>
<option value="nothing">-------</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $en; ?>'>EN</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $fi; ?>'>FI</option>
<option value='0|<?php echo $de; ?>'>DE</option>
</select>
</form>

So this is the code which has been working without any problems and still working on some servers. I am just wondering could there be something changed in Javascript.
