URGENT need Help with PHP please

Hi. This is hard for me to explain but here goes. My site is http://bit.ly/einIPE There are two flags at the top, when they are clicked the language should change.

So I'm using variables for the text eg:

<?php echo $title; ?>

PHP:

instead of using actual hardcoded text. I am calling the php include at the top of the code:

<?php include("gb.php"); ?>

PHP:

However I want to do the following:
When the British flag is clicked, it should change to "gb.php"
When the Swedish flag is clicked, it should change to "se.php"

How would I go about doing this? Are there any other work arounds?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, i do hope it makes sense I'm in desperate need for this!

 

What you need to do is detect the language they've chosen, store the language in a cookie or a session so they don't have to keep clicking the language icons.. haven't tested the code below but should give you an idea.

<?php
// Store the possible language files in an array, gb, se, fi, fr etc.
$languages = array(
	'gb',
	'se',
);

// Check if the user is requesting to change the language
if(isset($_GET['lang']))
{
	// Check that the language they want to use actually exists 
	if(array_key_exists($_GET['lang'], $languages))
	{
		// Store the language they want to use in the cookie for 7 days
		setcookie('language', $_GET['lang'], 60 * 60 * 24 * 7);
	}
}

// Check if the user has specified a language
if(isset($_COOKIE['language']))
{
	// Make sure the language exists again, cookies can be modified and we don't want them including any other pages
	if(array_key_exists($_COOKIE['language'], $languages))
	{
		// Include the language file.php
		include($_COOKIE['language'] . '.php');
	}
}
else
{
	// No language specified by the user so include the default language to use..
	include('gb.php');
}
?>

PHP:

Then to set the language you can use index.php?lang=gb or index.php?lang=se etc.
