[HELP] php language system

[Glock1533]

hello guys, i'm trying to create a system where i have 2 different languages in php and so far i have this code

 

<?php

  // Start a Session, You might start this somewhere else already.
  session_start();

  //global $lang;

  // What languages do we support
  $available_langs = array('en','pt','es');

  // Set our default language session
  $_SESSION['lang'] = 'pt';   

  if(isset($_GET['lang']) && $_GET['lang'] != ''){ 
    // check if the language is one we support
    if(in_array($_GET['lang'], $available_langs))
    {       
      $_SESSION['lang'] = $_GET['lang']; // Set session
    }
  }

  echo $lang['txt_TRADUCTION1'];
  echo '<br/>';
  echo $lang['txt_TRADUCTION2'];
  echo '<br/>';
  echo $lang['TESTANDO'];
  echo '<br/>';
  echo $lang['txt_TRADUCTION4'];

  // Include active language
  include('teste/'.$_SESSION['lang'].'/'.$_SESSION['lang'].'.php');
?>

but he returns this error to me:

Warning: include(teste/en/en.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\teste\index.php on line 33

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'teste/en/en.php' for inclusion (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\teste\index.php on line 33

and the files are in the proper folders

 

en.php file that is inside the en / folder

<?php   

  $lang['txt_TRADUCTION1']      = 'Name';
  $lang['txt_TRADUCTION2']      = 'Age';
  $lang['txt_TRADUCTION3']      = 'Last Name';
  $lang['txt_TRADUCTION4']      = 'Phone';

?>

f(isset($_GET['lang']) && $_GET['lang'] != ''){ 

what are you trying to do here? basically wrong 

if(empty($_GET['lang'])){

exit from the code here  

}

Try include en/en.php

T looks like you are already inside the teste folder.

Although it looks like a test, I still think your cars should be more descriptive then what you have 

$lang["name"] ="Name"; instead of $lang["txt_trasuvtion"]> and possibly create an empty lang file

$lang["name"] =

$lang["dob"] =

$lang["nickname"] =

Ect

 

This will allow a translator to make a new language file fairly fast.

no need isset and blank chk there

you are chking same thing many times 

 

if(in_array($_GET['lang'], $available_langs)) { $_SESSION['lang'] = $_GET['lang']; // Set session }

this is enough

Depends on what's running before it, this snippet might result in an undefined index warning on lang.
Simply verify its existence.

if(array_key_exists('lang', $_GET) && in_array($_GET['lang'], $available_langs)) {
    $_SESSION['lang'] = $_GET['lang'];
    // Set session
}

that means the structure having issue and the url not appropriate

I agree - for the expected use of it; might not mean much to a user specifically searching for weakness.
