Language switch PHP class

This class detects the language (from url, session, cookie and browser) and then sets a current one

Usage

1. Download --

Git: https://github.com/vades/php-language.git

Composer: {"require": {"vades/php-language": "dev-master"} }

2. Include class and config into your code --

require_once '../src/Vades/Language/LanguageSwitch.php';

$cfg = require_once '../src/Vades/Language/config.php';';

use \Vades\Language\LanguageSwitch;

OR autoload with Composer

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

3. Set values in config file config.php --

Default language: 'default' => 'en'

Supported languages: 'supported' => array('en','de','fr','es','it')

4. Initialize the LanguageSwitch -- <?php

            $switch = new LanguageSwitch(array(
                'default' => $cfg['default'],
                'supported' => $cfg['supported'],
                'url' => $lang_from_url ,
                'session' => $lang_from_session,
                'cookie' => $lang_from_ucookie,
                'browser' => substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2)
            ));
   
     ?>
   

5. Use it with method chaining --

    <?php
    
            $lang = $switch->fromUrl()
                ->fromSession()
                ->fromCookie()
                ->fromBrowser()
                ->get();
   
     ?>
   

6. Code snippet --

    <?php
    
            require_once '../src/Vades/Language/LanguageSwitch.php';
            use \Vades\Language\LanguageSwitch;
   
            $cfg = require_once '../src/Vades/Language/config.php';
   
            // Start session
            if (strlen(session_id()) < 1) {
                session_start();
                $_SESSION['lang'] = 'de';
            }
            // Set cookie
            setcookie('lang', 'fr', time()+60);
   
            // Initialize the language switch
            $switch = new LanguageSwitch(array(
                'default' => $cfg['default'],
                'supported' => $cfg['supported'],
                'url' => (isset($_GET['lang']) ? $_GET['lang'] : null) ,
                'session' => (isset($_SESSION['lang']) ? $_SESSION['lang'] : null),
                'cookie' => (isset($_COOKIE['lang']) ? $_COOKIE['lang'] : null),
                // Extract the two digit language code from the http headers 
               'browser' => substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2)
            ));
   
            $lang = $switch->fromUrl()
                    ->fromSession()
                    ->fromCookie()
                    ->fromBrowser()
                    ->get();
   
            var_dump($switch,$lang);
   
     ?>
