    <p>People,</p> <p>I'm working on a function based on the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and when I tested, the browser displays a redirection loop. I investigated all the solution provided in other posts but doesn't work</p> <p><strong>Updated: I tried to do this first using the httaccess detecting the language and redirecting to the correct page using the proper page and lang variables but I found the same issue. The problem is that I used two variables: page ( to determine in which page is the user ) and lang ( proper language depending on the spoken language of the user ). But the first time when the user arrives to the site: both variables are null so the purpose of this is detect the browser language of the user and then redirect it to the proper url, in my case..... index.php?page=index&amp;lang=en for instance...</strong> </p> <p>I did this:</p> <pre><code>**init.php** $supportedLangs = array ( 'en-GB', 'en-US', 'es-ES', 'es-AR' ); $languages = explode ( ',', $_SERVER ['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] ); detectBrowserLanguage($languages,$supportedLangs); **functions.php** function detectBrowserLanguage($languages,$supportedLangs) { foreach ( $languages as $lang ) { if (in_array ( $lang, $supportedLangs )) { // Set the page locale to the first supported language found switch ($lang) { case 'es-ES' : header ( "Location: index.php?pagina=inicio&amp;lang=es", TRUE, 301 ); exit (); break; case 'en-US' : header ( "Location: index.php?pagina=inicio&amp;lang=en", TRUE, 301 ); exit (); break; case 'en-GB' : header ( "Location: index.php?pagina=inicio&amp;lang=en", TRUE, 301 ); exit (); break; default : header ( "Location: index.php?pagina=inicio&amp;lang=es", TRUE, 301 ); exit (); break; } } } } </code></pre>

    1. COIn your code there is no way to break out of the loop. Suppose if you have you have detected language `en` and redirected to `index.php?pagina=inicio&lang=en`, on the redirected page it will again detect language `en` adn do redirect again to `index.php?pagina=inicio&lang=en` (infinite loop)

    2. COIsn't it a better approach to include the relevant code according to the preferred language of the browser instead of redirecting with `lang=`. This way you know which is the preferred language when the user first visits the page. (no redirection = better, user friendly, faster website)

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
