Multi language for a Website (php and javascript)

Question

i try to build a language selection for my Website.

I use php and Javascript.

My idea is to create for every language a php file.

For example: lang_en.php

<?php
 $lang = array();
 $lang[1] = "Everything is ok!";
 $lang[2] = "Please select a Number.";
?>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  lang = new Array();
  lang[1] = 'Hello, please select a Button.';
  lang[2] = 'Are you sure?';    
</script>

But i am not sure, is this a good solution? Or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance!
Peter

Please please please don't make up your own solutions. You'll never get it as right as something that already exists.
