In this file (localization.php):
<?php
session_start();
header('Cache-control: private'); // IE 6 FIX
if(isSet($_GET['lang'])) {
$lang = $_GET['lang'];
// register the session and set the cookie
$_SESSION['lang'] = $lang;
setcookie("lang", $lang, time() + (3600 * 24 * 30));
}
else if(isSet($_SESSION['lang'])) {
$lang = $_SESSION['lang'];
}
else if(isSet($_COOKIE['lang'])) {
$lang = $_COOKIE['lang'];
}
else {
$lang = 'en';
}
// use appropiate lang.xx.php file according to the value of the $lang
switch ($_SESSION['lang']) { //line 23
case 'en':
case 'es':
case 'zh-tw':
case 'zh-cn':
$lang_file = 'lang.'.$_SESSION['lang'].'.php';
break;
default:
$lang_file = 'lang.en.php';
}
//localization helper function
function l($localization) {
global $lang;
return $lang[$localization];
}
include_once 'languages/'.$lang_file;
?>
I get the following warning message (localization.php):
Notice: Undefined index: lang inD:\wamp\www\projects\alexchen\alexchen2.0\localization.php on line 23
But in this another similar file I don't get that warning:
<?php
session_start();
header('Cache-control: private'); // IE 6 FIX
if(isSet($_GET['lang'])) {
$lang = $_GET['lang'];
// register the session and set the cookie
$_SESSION['lang'] = $lang;
setcookie("lang", $lang, time() + (3600 * 24 * 30));
}
else if(isSet($_SESSION['lang'])) {
$lang = $_SESSION['lang'];
}
else if(isSet($_COOKIE['lang'])) {
$lang = $_COOKIE['lang'];
}
else {
$lang = 'en';
}
// use appropiate lang.xx.php file according to the value of the $lang
switch ($lang) {
case 'en':
$lang_file = 'lang.en.php';
break;
case 'es':
$lang_file = 'lang.es.php';
break;
case 'zh-tw':
$lang_file = 'lang.zh-tw.php';
break;
case 'zh-cn':
$lang_file = 'lang.zh-cn.php';
break;
default:
$lang_file = 'lang.en.php';
}
//translation helper function
function l($localization) {
global $lang;
return $lang[$localization];
}
include_once 'languages/'.$lang_file;
?>

I know they do basically the same but why an I getting that warning from the first localization.php file? How can I fix it?
