    empty HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE

    On my site I have a code based on $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'], to
    selelect language variable:
    if(!isset($_SES SION['lng'])) {
    if(preg_match("/pl/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'])) {
    $_SESSION['lng'] = "pl";
    }
    elseif(preg_mat ch("/en/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'])) {
    $_SESSION['lng'] = "en";
    }
    elseif(preg_mat ch("/de/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'])) {
    $_SESSION['lng'] = "de";
    }
    else {
    $_SESSION['lng'] = "en";
    }
    }

    There is also "printer version" script which read the site like this:
    $refpage = (phpversion() > "4.1.0") ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] :
    $HTTP_SERVER_VA RS['HTTP_REFERER'];
    $read = fopen($refpage, "rb");
    while(!feof($re ad))
    {
    $value .= fread($read, 16000);
    }
    fclose($read);
    ....
    print $value;

    I have a problem, because site processed like that is loosing it's
    language variable. Pice of code, which is selecting langage, doesn't
    work, because variable $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'] is empty.
    Maybe someone know why ?

      maybe because the page wasn't requested by a browser but by your printer
      version script, therefor HTTP_ACCEPT_LAN GUAGE can't have the language
      preferences defined in the visitors browser.
      why don't you use different css settings for browser/printer version of
      your pages? i guess the content of the page is the same; font size or
      background images or table widths are the values you want to change.

      pozdrawiam.

          My "printer version" script is cutting pieces of code between <!-- start
          --> and <!-- stop --> markers from the input file, so I can decide which
          pieces will be available for printing. Unfortunately it's loosing
          language settings and that's my problem.

              The web server is sending the request for the referer page, not the web
              browser, and will only pass on a GET request, not all the other parts of a
              HTTP request that a normal web browser would do.

              Two ways to tackle this. If you have it available use curl to fetch fetch
              the page. Otherwise, store all the browser information in a session
              variable, then call the printer page.
