Can anyone give me a hint, I'm stuck with an issue:

I'm using a MySql database to hold some information in different languages.
In one table, I named the fields no_title for norwegian text, en_title for
english and so on..

To read the beginning of the norwegian article, I have to use:

if(strlen($news->no_title) > 150){
$trim_title = substr($news->no_title, 0, 150) . "...";

Since I use seperate languagefiles for the site, I'd like to put a variable
inside the languagefile for each language, ie no_ for norwegian, en_ for
english..

In the languagefile I wrote:

$lang = "no_";

then on the mainpage the code read:

if(strlen($news->$lang . title) > 150){
$trim_title = substr($news->$lang . title, 0, 150) . "...";

Wich caused an error.

Any hints for how I can do this?

if(strlen($news->{ $lang . 'title' }) > 150){
$trim_title = substr($news->{ $lang . 'title' }, 0,
150) . "...";
