dynamically creating a url

[kundie]

is it possible for me to do this in php?

for my website which is in two langauages i want to have a translation for each page but i don't want to create to separate sites. i.e i don't want the user to go back to homepage when they change languages but to go directly to the current page they are viewing. So you see i need to use a variable that could store the current url and change the filename's last two letters en/jp. It has worked but i can't get the variable to be read as url when i put it in echo.

<?php echo '<a href= \"$new_link\" >japanese</a>' ;?> <br>.

thanx

kundie,

When using single quotes with echo, it won't process the variable.

Do one of the following:

<?php
// 1
echo "<a href= \"$new_link\" >japanese</a>"; // use of double quotes with echo
// 2
echo '<a href= "'.$new_link.'" >japanese</a>' // keeping variable outside of quotes
// 3

?>

<a href="<?php echo $new_link; ?>">japanese</a><br> <!-- using php start tags within the anchor href -->

I hope this is of help.
