Hi, Pleaes follow the followiing 3 steps. Step 1. Have to create the 2 tables in db one for language name another one for texts Table 1: CREATE TABLE `languages` ( `id` int (11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ` name ` varchar (45) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL , `code` varchar (6) NOT NULL , `active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' , PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=3 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ; INSERT INTO `languages` (` name `, `code`) VALUES ( 'English' , 'en_US' ); INSERT INTO `languages` (` name `, `code`) VALUES ( 'Franch' , 'fr_FR' ); Table 2: CREATE TABLE `language_texts` ( `lang_key` varchar (256) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL , `en_US` varchar (256) CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT NULL , `fr_FR` varchar (256) CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`lang_key`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; Insert the key and value to this table. Step 2: select the list of languages available for website and map it with php. SELECT name , code FROM languages where active =1 ; and make this langauhe list as selectable. Step 3: Once your selected or default lanuage will loaded with our languages text table content. SELECT * FROM language_texts; Create one common Db controller to collect the data from Db like . class DBActions { private $host = "localhost" ; private $user = "root" ; private $password = "" ; private $database = "website" ; private $conn ; public function __construct() { $this ->conn = $this ->connectDB(); $this ->conn->set_charset( "utf8" ); } private function connectDB() { $conn = mysqli_connect( $this ->host, $this ->user, $this ->password, $this ->database); return $conn ; } public function runQuery( $query ) { $resultset = []; try{ if ( empty empty ( $query )) { throw new Error( "Invalid Query" ); } $result = mysqli_query( $this ->conn, $query ); while ( $row =mysqli_fetch_assoc( $result )) { $resultset [] = $row ; } return $resultset ; } catch(Exception $e ) { throw $e ; } } } In the rendering page, please include this require_once ( "dbActions.php" ); $db_handle = new DBActions(); $selected_lang_code = 'en_US' ; $query = "SELECT lang_key, " . $selected_lang_code . " FROM language_texts" ; $result = $db_handle ->runquery( $query ); and render it on the page as like , $result [ 'website_welcome_text' ]; ?> All the best..........
