基于htaccess语言的虚拟子文件夹

Question

Good nigh, Im trying to create virtual subfolders for user's browser language.

So i have the following folder structure:

www/
    Core/
        Classes/
            Autoloader.Class.php
            Smarty.Class.php
            Database.Class.php
            LoadingOrder.json
        Libraries/
            Smarty.Class.BC.php
            Smarty.Class.php
            SmartyModules/
                ..
        Modules/
            Autoloader.Module.php
            Wall.Module.php
            Account.Module.php
            LoadingOrder.json
        Engine.php
        Initialize.php
    Templates/
        Default/
            css/
                main.css
                style.css
                ErrorHandler.css
            images/
            javascript/
                jquery.js
            Main.tpl
            User.tpl
            ErrorHandler.tpl
    .htaccess
    index.php
    user.php
    ErrorHandler.php

The thing i need, is to create multilingual website.

For example: User want to go to his/her page: http://site.domain/user

The thing i want to implement, is that based on his browser language, it will redirect him to
http://site.domain/en/user - if he speaks English,
http://site.domain/ru/user - if he speaks Russian,
http://site.domain/pt/user - if he speaks Portugese.

The thing is, these language subfolders should be only virtual, and the all their requests should be made to only user.php, which is one in the root directory.

I've been googleing, and found that on http://battle.net - there is kind of system like this.

So is it possible to create system like this via htaccess, or its purely php?

Answer 1

Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^([a-z]{2})- [NC]
RewriteRule ^user/?$ /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,R]

RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(user)/?$ /$2.php?lang=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

This will redirect /user to /en/user in browser but will load /user.php?lang=en silently.
