hyperlink in a php echo line

[pouncer]

[code=php:0]
function RedirectBackToLogin() {
echo "<br>You will be redirect back to the main login page in 5 seconds, or click <a href="index.html">here</a> to go back.<br>";
}
[/code]

keeps giving me error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

and can someone show me how to make it go back to index.html after 5 seconds?

You must escape double quotes within a string that's started and ended with double quotes: \"index.html\"

+ EDIT: You can use meta refresh to redirect

[code]

<?php

function RedirectBackToLogin() {
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5; url=index.html\" />";
echo "<br>You will be redirect back to the main login page in 5 seconds, or click <a href=\"index.html\">here</a> to go back.<br>";
}

?>

[/code]

try wrapping your echo in ()


[code]echo ("<br>You will be redirect back to the main login page in 5 seconds, or click <a href='index.html'>here</a> to go back.<br>");[/code]

Why? echo is not a function!

Thanks Alpine, perfect. Only problem is when the word 'here' gets hyperlinked my page backgrounds are all dark colors so i can't see the word clearly.

is there a way to set the hyperlink color to white or something?

<a href=\"index.html\" style=\"color:#ffffff\">here</ a>

Thorpe - Your right, I was looking at the actual error though when I wrote that.
