Show me how you tried to do it and I'll tell you your problem...  To echo a link this is how you would do it...
[code]
<?php
echo '<a href="what">what what</a>';
?>
[/code]

if you have something different to do that -- id change it..

well i want it to echo so it says the actual code for the link, not just the unerlined link itself

[radar]

ahh.. lemme do a test right quick... and i'll get back with you..

[CircularStopSign]

How abt this one?

$a = "<a href=abc.php>test</a>";
echo $a;

Well since the syntax of the link itself is wrong -- it might work..  though if the syntax was right it wouldn't.. it would process the html.. see problem is gotta figure out how to make the html not process...

[code]<?php echo htmlentities('<a href="http://www.example.com/">link</a>'); ?>[/code]
