| IS there a way, in code, to SET
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']
Or is it read-only?

What's the purpouse of doing so? It will not affect the users capability of
recieving languages even if you did change it... You can't teach the user a
language by setting a variable. For me it would take several years to learn
Spanish for example. It's taken me a good 15 years to learn English and I
know I still make mistakes.
It seems your trying to achieve something else and doing it the wrong way.
What is exactly what you were trying to do by setting http_accept_language?

| Yes, you guys are right. Im reyting to allow the user to specify pages in
various languages, but I think I will go the cookie route for that, using as
the default, if it exists. Thanks, Ike

Basicly that's the way to do it. You can only use
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] to detect what languages user supports, but
you can't save anything to it. If none of the languages you serve were found
in that, then use the default. If you find a match from languages you serve
/ what languages user supports, then write it to cookie or session. On
subsequent pages see what's inside the cookie / session and serve that
language, if none, then default.
