i’m trying to make my site with a few languages. Every page includes config-file, wich checks variable ‘lang’ in session. If it doesn’t exist, wi’ll be redirected to the page of lang choosing. After choosing u’ll come to the page before. But it works only in Mozilla Firefox. In other browser after language checking i always get this page (lang checking). What i did wrong?
Config-file:

// Here is session start...
if (!isset($_SESSION['site_lang']))
{
  $_SESSION['page_refer'] = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 
  echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=lang_choose.php">';
  exit;
}
else
{
  require_once 'languages/'.$lang.'.php';
}
?>

lang_choose.php:

// Session start
  @extract($_POST);
  if (isset($_POST['lang']))
  {
    $lang = $_POST['lang']; $lang = replace($lang);
    $_SESSION['site_lang'] = $lang;
    echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL='.$_SESSION['page_refer'].'">';
  }
  else
  {
      // Showing form with flags... which returns var 'lang'
  }

EDIT:
If there is 

< input type="image" src="img/langs/en.png" width="290" height="200" border="1" name="lang" value="en" />

in form it doesn’t work in another browsers (except mozilla)
but if i use:

< input type="submit" name="lang" value="en" />

Everything is good. Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Try using this to perform the redirect:

    <?php
header('HTTP/1.1 302 Found');
header('Location: ' . $_SESSION['page_refer']);
// And just in case that doesn't work
echo '<html>',
     '<head>',
     '<title>Redirect</title>',
     '</head>',
     '<body>',
     '<script type="text/javascript">',
     'window.location.href = "' . $_SESSION['page_refer'] . '";',
     '</script>',
     '<a href="' . $_SESSION['page_refer'] . '">Click here to continue</a>',
     '</body>',
     '</html>';
?>

    Also note that use of the <meta> tag to redirect is discouraged by the W3C.
