alternative to echo and print

[nunomira]

to enter the site you can either click a link english or portuguese
this sends a variable to the php:

<a href="file.php?lang=en">english</a>
<a href="file.php?lang=pt">portugês</a>

in file.php I have the swf file which will load the variable lang and this code

$lang = $_GET['lang'];
$loaded = true;
if($lang=='en'){
$language = 'en';
}else{
$language = 'pt';
}
echo("&language=$language&loaded=$loaded&");

the problem is that when I use echo(), the code inside it is displayed which obsiously should't happen!
Is there any other way or logic to do this?

onother question:
when I use just this code, the variable lang loads into flash but it is empty, that's why I use the variable language also.

$lang = $_GET['lang'];
$loaded = true;
echo("&lang=$lang&loaded=$loaded&");

why?

[barand]

echo("&lang=$lang&loaded=$loaded&");

Lose those &'s, this works

echo("language=$language, loaded=$loaded");

🙁

the values are displayed anyway...
(and the variables aren't even loaded into flash)

[kevinsequeira]

maybe u need to do this

$lang = $_GET['lang'];
$loaded = true;
if($lang=='en'){
$language = 'en';
}else{
$language = 'pt';
}

echo "<param NAME=language VALUE=$language>";
echo "<param NAME=loaded VALUE=$loaded>";

to pass values to flash

post the whole code for this page
