Using PHP Gettext Extension vs PHP Arrays in Multilingual Websites?

Question

So far the only 2 good things that I\'ve seen about using gettext instead of arrays is that I don\'t have to create the \"greeting\" \"sub-array\" (or whatever its called).

Answer 1

When user selects any language from dropdown or any area then save selected language id in session like,

$_SESSION['language']=1;

Now fetch data from database table ‘content’ based on language id stored in session.
