 * Hi everyone,
    Im coding in some php codes inside a template i’m building and 
   i need to include a php inside another php but it gives me an error. This is 
   what i have:
 * <?php
    if(qtrans_getLanguage()==’en’) { echo “<?php more_fields(‘Author’) ?>;”}
   else { echo “Esta página esta en Español”; } ?>
 * Apparently it doens’t let me include php functions inside another php. I tried
   to declare a variable with the result of <?php more_fields(‘Author’) ?>; but 
   didn’t work either because in order to create a variable i need to have it inside
   a <?php right? or is there a way to declare variables without having to do them
   inside the <?php ??????
 * Anybody please help me out!
 * Thanks in advance for your help!
 * Note: Im using qTranslate and MoreFields for Translation and Custom Fields.

 * what is the exact error message?
 * there is likely to be a semicolon missing at the end of the ‘echo’ line.
 * generally, the echo function should be able to echo whatever you want, but it
   won’t execute the php code.
 * I don’t know the `more_fields()` function (is that from a plugin?), but have 
   you tried,
    either:
 *     ```
       echo more_fields('Author');
       ```
   
 * or:
 *     ```
       more_fields('Author');
       ```
