What is the recommended method in PHP to extract the browser language?

To extract the browser language in PHP, you can use the $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] superglobal variable. This variable contains a string that represents the user's preferred language settings in their browser. You can then parse this string to extract the language code.

$browser_language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
$language = substr($browser_language, 0, 2); // Extract the first two characters representing the language code
echo "Browser language: " . $language;
