" in PHP. This one should be easy for you guys!

[Maracles]

I want my PHP code to output the html:

 

<a href="xxxx.php">Text</a>

 

However the php is reading the " as PHP and not HTML, how do I tell the code to read it as HTML. I thought you added a / in front however that doesnt appear to work.

 

Thanks for the help.

Solution 1.

<?php
echo '<a href="xxxx.php">Text</a>';
?>

Solution 2.

<?php
echo "<a href=\"xxxx.php\">Text</a>";
?>

Solution 3.

<?php
print ('<a href="xxxx.php">Text</a>');
?>

... more ways too  I prefer number 1.

Hmm I have just tried that and it hasnt worked. I will give you my exact line of code to see if that helps. Im abroad at the moment and cant do lots of the special characters on the keyboard which make this very annoying!

 

The line im trying to write is:

 

echo '<div id="results"><p><strong>'.($i+1).'.Title: ';

 

However the PHP isnt reading the

id="results"

part correctly due top the ". What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks for the assistance.

Your not doing anything wrong, the code works fine for me, just tried it. Maybe you can post more of the code? for me the code echos this:

<div id="results"><p><strong>1.Title:

which should be right...

Try this:

<div id=\"results\"><p><strong>1.Title:

Hey guys thanks for the help, just starteds getting some wierd "Forbidden" errors on the page which I need to sort out first. I will then try what was suggested and if its still not working come back.

 

Thanks again.

*HavokDelta6 plans to solve this in the least words

 

BACKSLASH

 

/solution

 

 

called escaping, its used with alot of special characters, the command in PHP which adds backslashes to prevent this is the native function:

 

addslashes($data);

 

this can be reversed with

 

stripslashes($data); to get the origonal data out

 

Hope i helped.
