The dropdown is now selectable; I apparently broke this earlier today. That 
issue should be fixed when the mirrors do their next update.

As for defaulting to French; I have no idea and it's been like this for a while 
:/ To my knowledge I haven't changed this at all.

The drop down is indeed broken.. But that only happened couple of hours ago.


As for your French problem, at some point in time you viewed a French doc page. 
Since them we remember that you liked french, so we continue to serve you 
french.
We will continue to serve you french until you view a page in English - and 
which point we will remember that and continue to serve you pages in English 
until you change the language.


If you have never been to PHP.net before, we'll extract the language accept 
headers from your browser.
Or, we'll see which url you are accessing (/en/ vs /fr/ vs /ja).

Description:
------------
Using Mac OSX - Version 10.8.5
Using Google Chrome - Version 31.0.1650.63 + Other Major Browsers

I used to use php.net a lot for function reference:
I would search the function name on google and the first result would link me 
to a working, English, php.net page.

This is a deal-breaker for me. I am now finding myself clicking on the 
w3schools.com result in Google instead of php.net even though it has worse 
documentation... just because it's in the right language.

Test script:
---------------
This is a specific EXAMPLE - but it applies to ALL Google searches for php.net 
functions.

GOOGLE SEARCH: fgetcsv
FIRST RESULT: http://www.php.net/fgetcsv
CLIKED FIRST RESULT: php.net fgetcsv page is in French with a broken language 
select drop-down.

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect the page to be displayed in English by default when all other 
page/browser/Operating System language settings are English.
At the very least, I would expect it to redirect me to here, the language 
appropriate page, when I search in google:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php

Actual result:
--------------
PROBLEM: Page is displayed in French and your language select dropdown is 
unresponsive (Doesn't even drop down when clicked). Therefore, there is no 
simple way to use your page to navigate back to English.

You're losing a ton of Google clicks to w3schools.com, from not just me... from 
everybody.
