php echo mysql syntax help

[SN1P3R_85]

Hi, i want to echo a table, and in the table, i have links to certain pages. Each page name is stored in an sql database. I tried to write it, but i keep getting syntax errors. This is what i have:

 

echo "<table class=\"forum\" border=\"1\" width=\"40%\"><tr style=\"height:20px\"><td class=\"forum\" width=\"50%\"><a href=\"/forum/" . $row['Thread_name'] . "_" . $row['Id'] . ".php\">$row['Thread_name']</a></td></tr>";

 

p.s. - i end the table somewhere else, so don't worry about that.

Try this:

 

echo '<table class="forum" border="1" width="40%"><tr style="height:20px"><td class="forum" width="50%"><a href="/forum/'. $row['Thread_name'] .'_'. $row['Id'] .'.php">'.$row['Thread_name'].'[/url]</td></tr>';

It works, could you tell me what you changed, and why mine wasn't working?

Instead of having the outer echo be a double quote I did a single quote and removed all of the \"

 

If your going to place HTML inside of an echo, the best way would be to use a single quote in my opinion, not a double quote. It makes for less errors.
