How to translate /en/file.php to a .php file? Lang = en in htaccess Apache

Question

I am writing a multilingual site. I have several files on the server, for example:

/index.php
/files.php
/funny.php

And I would like to add language support by putting the language code in the URL as follows:

http://mywebsite/en/index.php

will be redirected to:

http://mywebsite/index.php?lang=en

AND

http://mywebsite/en/files.php

will be redirected to:

http://mywebsite/files.php?lang=en

I would like to add more languages, for example:

http://mywebsite/ch-ZH/index.php

And I would like this to work only for files with the php and php5 extension. The rest of the files should be the same as them.

So, for example, when I get to the address

http://mywebsite/ch-ZH/index.php

I want my PHP to know that the current path

http://mywebsite

and NOT

http://mywebsite/ch-ZH

This is necessary for me because in my PHP code I am in the current path and would like them to work while they work.

Could you please write how to prepare the htaccess file on Apache to meet these criteria?

If you do not want to use ModRewrite, you can put symbolic links in a web folder ( ln -s . en) and check the URL in PHP.
