Duda sentencia echo

[DooBie]

Código PHP:

  <?php if($empty_cart) { ?>
            <?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_EMPTY'); ?>. <a href="index.php?page=shop.cart&option=com_virtuemart"><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW'); ?></a><?php
            } else {
                echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_FULL') .$total[0].$items.'.<a href="index.php?page=shop.cart&option=com_virtuemart">&nbsp;'.$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW').'</a>';
            } ?>   

Que tal así?
