When you will enable this hook, you will get two new global variables $GLOBALS['language'] with long language name as "english" and $GLOBALS['language-short'] as short language name as "en".
1. enable hooks in config.php
2. change uri_protocol in config.php to "PATH_INFO"
3. load url helper in autoload.php
4. create a file named language.php in hooks directory with this content:
Code:
<?php
class Language {
var $languages = array (
'en' => 'english',
'lv' => 'latvian',
'ru' => 'russian'
);
function get_language() {
// include the config to get the default language
include("system/application/config/config.php");
// removes the index.php from the url
$url = str_replace('/index.php','',$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
// trying to get the language and set as global variable
$pieces = explode('/',$url);
if(sizeof($pieces) > 1){
if(key_exists($pieces[1],$this->languages)){
$this->set_language($this->languages[$pieces[1]]);
}else{
$this->set_language($config['language']);
}
}else{
$this->set_language($config['language']);
}
}
function set_language($lang){
$GLOBALS['language'] = $lang;
foreach(array_keys($this->languages) as $l)
if($lang == $this->languages[$l])
$GLOBALS['language-short'] = $l;
}
}
?>
and modify the $languages array to suit your needs.
5. Add these lines in hooks.php config file:
Code:
$hook['pre_system'] = array(
'class' => 'Language',
'function' => 'get_language',
'filename' => 'language.php',
'filepath' => 'hooks'
);
Now when you call yoursite.com/en/ or yoursite.com/index.php/en/ it defines the global variable for you.
Please correct me if I did something wrong, because I'm new to CI.
