add function to a string

[James Maiden]

I need to add one of my functions to the following code:

$string = '<div class="row">;
            <label class="col1">State or Province</label>
            <span class="col2"><select name="billing[state]" class="mid2" onChange="ShopperPress_ChangeState_Value(this.value)">';
            $string .= '<option value="0">-------- Select ----------</option>';
            foreach($states as $val){
                $string .= '<option value="'.$val.'">'.$val.'</option>';
            }
 
            $string .= '</select></span></div>';
            print $string;
 
    }else{
            print  '<div class="row">
            <label class="col1">State or Province</label>
            <span class="col2"><input type="text" name="billing[state]" class="mid2" size="35" maxlength="100"/></span>
            </div>        
             ';
    }

Where text is being printed, such as "State or Province", I need to add the function that will connect to my language file to display that text in different languages. I would normally replace such text with the following:

<?php echo SPEC($GLOBALS['_LANG']['State or Province']) ?>

But I can't get the syntax right amongst the other PHP.
