Php Syntax Error

[unemployment]

Why is this not proper syntax

 

$s = '<a href=\"../u/' echo $r['feedusername'];'\">'

[Pikachu2000]

You need to terminate the variable assignment with a semicolon before continuing on to echo anything. If you're trying to assign the value of $r['feedusername'] as well, you need the concatenation operator, not echo.

Because it's not?

 

You have two options - use double quotes and have the variable value automatically substituted for you, like:

 

$s = "<a href='../u/{$r['feedusername']}'>";

 

Or use single quotes and concatenation:

 

$s = '<a href="../u/' . $r['feedusername'] . '">';
