Change url in php after reloading a page

Question

My home page url looks like this

http://localhost/mediabox/home/box/12

I have a link of language on home page when a user clicks on that link i am sending that language id as query string , the page reloads and the url converts to

http://localhost/mediabox/home/box/?bid=12&ln=2

I want to reload the page with the new language but don't want to change my url i-e I want my URL to be

http://localhost/mediabox/home/box/12

after the page loads

How it is possible please me some gud ideas Thanks

The link looks like this <a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>home/box/?bid=12&ln=2"> where bid and ln are dynamic — Faryal Khan

Just set a language cookie. Then the language is not dictated by the URL. For example, when the user clicks the language link, setcookie('ln', 2); and when you get a page request you can check $_COOKIE['ln'] for the language to use. — DaveRandom
