Miscellaneous Problem

onclick="window.location=\'index.php?Page=Profile&PROFILE_ID='.$USER_ID.'\'">

 

what im echoing above causes a error in the html 4.1 strict validator... how can i change it to still work and not cause the error?

 

Line 42, Column 1302: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "PROFILE_ID"

Try something like this:

 

onclick="window.location=index.php?Page=Profile&PROFILE_ID=<?php echo $USER_ID ?>">

[shane18]

its the &PROFILE_ID causing the html error... its being considered a entity

its the &PROFILE_ID causing the html error... its being considered a entity

 

Then this is an HTML question, Not PHP. Always use & instead of '&'. If you're looking for a PHP function, use url_encode

$string = 'onclick="window.location=\'index.php?'.urlencode('Page=Profile&PROFILE_ID='.$USER_ID.'\'">');

onclick="window.location=\'index.php?Page=Profile&PROFILE_ID='.$USER_ID.'\'">
