Help adding <a href> to echo

[johnnyboy16]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to add this link <a href="<?php CONFIG_SITE_PATH ?>/settings.php"> to somewhere in the red text below. 

 

Can someone please show me how/where I would do this. 

 

 

$userObj->_userId = $_SESSION['G_userId'.CONFIG_SITE_NAME];

$userObj->getUserDetails();

echo '.$userObj->_name.'</span>  /  <a href="logout.php" >Logout</a></span>';

heya i am still a newbie but i think i can help, you code is missing something.

<a href="<?php CONFIG_SITE_PATH ?>/settings.php">

 

I bet if you use echo in your statement it will end up in you href But I am also pretty  sure that since its a variable it needs to be sanitized first.

but this should work.

 

<a href="<?php echo $sanitized_input; ?>">settings.php</a>

 

By the way if someone know a nice way to sanitize this I am also happy to hear

Because I heared htmlspecialcaracters(); isn't enough.

if used it would look like this:

<a href="<?php echo htmlspecialcaracters($sanitized_input, ENT_QUOTES); ?>">settings.php</a>

 

This gives some more insight

Thanks, but I'm not sure that is what I'm looking for. 

 

Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions?

 

You need to clarify your problem.

[johnnyboy16]

Sorry.

 

Ok What I'm trying to do is make the the echoed statement that I highlighted in Red, a link.  The page I want to link to is the

<a href> highlight in green --> "Settings.php"

Well I think the answer is already there, although i also notice something else so i thought i would tell you. Also you span element doenst match. anyways I try to answer your question as far as i know what it is.

I assume you want to display a username and than add a click-able text that results in logout.php

Like logout johny?

 

ok well ill give an example but still sanitize your input. And besides that i am not sure that CONFIG_SITE_PATH as is will work that well. so you might have to put it in a $var.

 

<?php

echo $userObj->_userId.', <a href="<a href="'.CONFIG_SITE_PATH.'/logout.php">Logout</a>';

?>

 

If this does't work try to put CONFIG_SITE_PATH in a $var.

 

 

 

btw your code had some minor thingies marked now in red

echo '.$userObj->_name.'</span>  /  <a href="logout.php" >Logout</a></span>';

Oh it seems we replied simultaneously. May i ask my you dont just use hard coded 

<a href="/logout.php">logout</a>

i'm not sure that i understand all your code, but seeing what is php and what not, does this work?

 

(just place all between echo and alternate between html and php with code between '' and code that is not, added together with dots)

 

$userObj->_userId = $_SESSION['G_userId'.CONFIG_SITE_NAME];

$userObj->getUserDetails();

 

echo '<a href="'.CONFIG_SITE_PATH.'/settings.php">'.$userObj->_name.'</a></span>  /  <a href="logout.php" >Logout</a></span>';

[johnnyboy16]

Sorry again....

 

echo '<span class="searchtxt"><span style="color:#3CA3E9;">'.$userObj->_name.'</span>  /  <a href="logout.php" >Logout </a></span>'; 

 

[johnnyboy16]

Got it.  Thanks for the help guys.

[fortnox007]

may we see your final result?

[johnnyboy16]

Yeah, it was nothing special...

 

 

$userObj->_userId = $_SESSION['G_userId'.CONFIG_SITE_NAME];

$userObj->getUserDetails();

 

echo '<span class="searchtxt"><span style="color:#3CA3E9;"><a href="settings.php" style="color:#3CA3E9;">'.$userObj->_name.'</a></span>  /  <a href="logout.php" >Logout </a></span>';
