Hi!

I am having problems inserting variables into h ref.

how do I do it?

hmm, need more info, but i'll try a blind answer

[code]echo ("<a href='$link'>$link</a>");[/code]

Or you could also do:

echo "<a href='"" . $var . "\">Link</a>";

Hi!,
this is the problem I am having:

echo("<tr><td><a href=http://www.test.com/$item_name.htm>Download</a></td></tr>");

$item_name is the variable, and I need to put the file extension after the variable.

the reply is http://www.test.com/.htm

thanks very much! - sorry, disregard last post

is the url a variable? or just the clickable text?

echo "<tr><td><a href=\"http://www.test.com/" . $item_name . ".html\">Download</a></td></tr>";
