why is this html link echo statement not working?

[worldcomingtoanend]

the following echoes very well but when i click on the link nothing happens. i have also tried experiementing with different url addresses but nothing is working...please help...

 

<?php

echo  '<a href="www.ilovegirls.com">link to girls</a>';

?>php

[arbitter]

try

href='http://www.ilovegirls.com'

[worldcomingtoanend]

try

href='http://www.ilovegirls.com'

the above is even worse because it doesnt even display the actual link

<?php
echo "<a href='http://www.ilovegirls.com'>Link to girls</a>";
?>

Try this:

 

<?php
echo "<a href='http://www.ilovegirls.com'>Link to girls</a>";
?>

thank you people for your help...I have tried it and its okay but why does the same syntax not work with links such as /women/girls/index.html, for example i noticed that this does not work...

 

<?php

echo  "<a href='/women/girls/index.html'>go to girls</a>";

 

?>

Works for me. Try it without the first / .. example ...

<?php 
echo  "<a href='women/girls/index.html'>go to girls</a>";
?>

I would hardly call this PHP help, Why not learn how HTML works first?

I didn't notice he put the ' around all the line and the " around the link, instead of otherwise
