I'm using this script:

    $lang = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
    switch ($lang){
        case "nl":
            //echo "PAGE FR";
            include("talen/nl.php");//include check session FR
            break;
        case "es":
            //echo "PAGE IT";
            include("talen/es.php");
            break;
        case "en":
            //echo "PAGE EN";
            include("talen/en.php");
            break;        
        default:
            //echo "PAGE EN - Setting Default";
            include("talen/en.php");//include EN in all other cases of different lang detection
            break;
    }

But when I set browser language to "af" it doesnt get the default english language...

How can I make that happen?

I have no case "af" so it doesnt show anything...

When there is no case like "af" I want the default to be "en" but that doesnt work

This is another solution I tried but no luck either:

<?
    $accept_lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
    $accept_lang = str_replace(' ', '', $accept_lang);
    
    $arr = explode(',', $accept_lang);
    
    $lang = "en";
    $q = 0;
    
    if (count($arr) > 0) {
        foreach ($arr as $a) {
        $l = explode(';', $a);
    
        if (count($l) == 1) {
            $l[1] = 'q=1';  
        }
    
        $l[1] = str_replace('q=', '', $l[1]);
    
        if ($l[1] > $q) {
            $q = $l[1];
        $lang = $l[0];  
        }
    }
    }
    
    $lang = preg_replace('/-(.*)/', '', $lang);
    
    switch ($lang){
        case "nl":
            //echo "PAGE FR";
            include("talen/nl.php");//include check session FR
            break;
        case "es":
            //echo "PAGE IT";
            include("talen/es.php");
            break;
        case "en":
            //echo "PAGE EN";
            include("talen/en.php");
            break;        
        default:
            //echo "PAGE EN - Setting Default";
            include("talen/en.php");//include EN in all other cases of different lang detection
    }
    ?>

My $lang is still set to "af" and not the default "en"

But when I set browser language to "af" it doesnt get the default english language...

if it doesn’t which language does it get? note that you don’t re-set $lang anywhere.

why should it be set to anything else? "af" is a valid value for this code, so "en" gets replaced.

Thanks for your answer:)

How can I edit my code that when browser language is set to "af" and I dont have a case for "af" it is set by default "en"?

you can’t set a browser property (like HTTP-ACCEPT-LANGUAGE) through the server. you can however set your language variable in PHP to your default.

for a switch() statement, everything that is not matched beforehand is covered by the default: section.

Yes and that is working fine but what I want to realise is that somebody from for example Africa is set to the english text version of the website...

How can I realise that without using HTTP-ACCEPT-LANGUAGE?

set your language variable to English. just like the first code block.
