I don't know how it will work, or even if you can do whatever it is you are
trying to do.
I only know what won't work. header("Location:")+setcookie() in one script
will not work on many browsers.
At a guess, I'd say you'll have to include() the file the user was
attempting to reach while switching languages rather than doing the
redirect.
Or, perhaps the content negotiationn will be sufficient. http://apache.org
Or, maybe you'll need to have a language-switching page after all.
