[SOLVED] Another Newbie problem trying to code 'a href'

[colinsp]

You were all so helpful the other day i thought that I would come back for some more (hopefully you don't mind)

 

I have got well under way with the application I want to create. I have a url stored in a mysql database. I have retrieved it and displayed it on my page BUT when you click the link it just refreshes the page it doesn't take you to the linked url. I suspect that I have some missing quotes but I can't work out where.

 

Here is the section of the code

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM))
{
    echo "<tr>";
    //echo $row[2]." ".$row[3]." ".$row[4]."<br>\n ";
    echo "<td>$row[2]</td>";
    echo "<td>$row[3]</td>";
    echo "<td><a href=>$row[4]</a></td>";
    echo "</tr>\n"; 
} 

 

It is $row[4] that hold the url. It displays correctly on the html page it is just the link that doesn't work.

 

TIA for any advice.

echo "<td><a href=\"$row[4]\">New page</a></td>";

$row[4] needed to be in the href="".
