@GDComms, glad I could be of help. I have no concrete idea how mtn.cm was done. From the link to the english version of the website, it appears it was done using CGI, which I have no idea about.

Another way, which I will not recommend. Will be to build your site and replicate the site files in different folders. So for english you have the folder "en", for french you'll have the folder "fr". You can then have something like

Choose your language please
<ul>
<li><a href="yoursite.com/en">English</a></li>
<li><a href="yoursite.com/fr">French</a></li>
</ul>

Brother, this will just give you plenty headache during site maintenance. You can reduce the headache if all derivatives of the site share common stylesheet files. but its still headache.

One way will be to build your site in a way that every text block is referenced as a variable and is being read from a seperate file.

So you have all the english declared as variables in a file called english.php
you have all the french equivalent declared as variables in a file called french.php

here's an example I just wrote.

index.php

<?php
if($_GET['lang']=="english"{
include("english.php";
}
elseif($_GET['lang']=="french"{
include("french.php";
}
else{
include("english.php";
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title ?></title>

</head>
<body>
<?php echo $greeting ?>

</body>
</html>

english.php

<?php
$greeting = "Hello, how are you today";
$title = "Welcome to our site";
?>

french.php

<?php
$greeting = "Bonjour, comment cava?";
$title = "Bien venue a la site"; //lol i need go french skool
?>

So english language will be called up by default. to get french you pass the variable "lang=french" as a GET method in the link.

so you could have something like

Choose your language please
<ul>
<li><a href="yoursite.com/?lang=english">English</a></li>
<li><a href="yoursite.com/?lang=french">French</a></li>
</ul>

This is just me, you can develop my idea and come up with something better.

Sorry, my french sucks. tongue

I use cron on trudigits.com for backup and account/billing management but that's at intervals (every mid-night).

Mehn for some weird reasons, my connection is dulling. The times I have used cron from cpanel, its been based on intervals. I dont think I can remember seeing the possibility of its being applied for specific calendar dates. Thanks for the info though. i still have to check this up on cpanel as soon as I can.

Ok, so i'm not the only one seeing ~~blow~~ cron job, mmm? Nice!

Webmasters › Re: Changing Css Or Background Based On Time by DualCore1: 6:44pm On Apr 14, 2010

Am I the only one thinking of something else when I see the phrase ~~blow~~ cron job? lipsrsealed

Cron will work for intervals but wont work for specific calendar dates.
