Magento getUrl() not working?

[kaylamatthews]

I got to this and it’s bringing up the getName but the getUrl() isn’t returning any URL at all....

 

<?php
$children = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories(3);
foreach ($children as $category):
            echo '<li><a href="' . $category->getUrl() . '">' . $category->getName() . '</a></li>';
        endforeach;
?>

 

The output code is just

<li><a href="">name of sub-cat</a></li>

 

Anybody have any ideas Please? I have been trying to figure this out for over 5 hours to no avail

 

Thanks in advance!

echo '<li><a href="' . $category->getUrl() . '">' . $category->getName() . '</a></li>';

 

in this line use "children" instead of "category"(at both the positions)
