My feeling is that the easiest way to persist your current language
selection would be to use a session variable (which in most cases would
translate to a cookie on the user's machine). Your method also works,
of course.
When you setup the session, you could set this automatically using
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] var. Note, though, that you may need
to translate the 2-char value to a full language code (e.g. 'en' ->
'en_US' in order for gettext() to work).
Also, depending on how different the different lang versions of the site
are (e.g. different graphics, etc.) you may want to think about using
templates to store versions of your pages for the different languages
(I use smarty: smarty.php.net). Using Smarty, you could change the
template root based on the current $language session variable -- and
then all your PHP pages would automatically grab the correct
language-version of the template.
E.g.
templates/en_US/
templates/fr_FR/
etc.
