fmpros Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi folks, I'm getting the following error: "unexpected T_LNUMBER". I'm trying to build a dynamic table in PHP it was working great until I attempted to include a java reference in one of my links. A watered down version of the code is as follows: $apps_html = '<table>'; $apps_html.= '<tr class="tableHeader">'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">VIEW</th>'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">TITLE</th>'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">DATE MODIFIED</th>'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">STATUS</th>'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">EDIT</th>'; $apps_html.= '<th scope="col">DELETE</th>'; $apps_html.= '</tr>'; $apps_html.= '<tr class="tablerow2">'; $apps_html.= '<td><a href="link.php">view</a></td>'; $apps_html.= '<td>' . $var1 . '</td>'; $apps_html.= '<td>' . $var2 . '</td>'; $apps_html.= '<td>' . $var3 . '</td>'; if($var1 == 'PENDING'){ $apps_html.= '<td><a href="delete.php">delete</a></td>'; }else{ $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,'200','400'); return false;"></a></td>'; } $apps_html.= '</tr>'; $apps_html.= '</table>'; The document body looks something like this: <html> <head> <title>I hate java</title> </head> <body> <?php echo $apps_html; ?> </body> </html> The problem is with this line obviously: $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,'200','400'); return false;"></a></td>'; Can anyone help me with the correct syntax to include java variables in my href? Thanks for your time! -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,'200','400'); Should be: $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,\'200\',\'400\');'; When ever you use ' inside of ' you have to put \' if that makes sense.

ialsoagree Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,'200','400'); return false;"></a></td>'; should be $apps_html.= '<td><a href="window.html" onclick="popUp(this.href,\'200\',\'400\'); return false;"></a></td>'; Have to escape the single quotes or they tell PHP to end the string.
