Adding Link To Definition List

[Staggan]

Hello

 

I am trying to add a link to the output of a definition list...

 

This is my code:

 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
 // detect if the heading changed
 if($last_heading != $row['tournament_name']){
  // heading changed or is the first one

  if($last_heading != null){// not the first one, (optionally) close out the previous section here...

  echo "</dl>\n";
  }

  echo "<dl class='v_show_hide' >\n<dt>Tournament {$row['tournament_name']}</dt>\n"; /// I WANT TO ADD LINK HERE 
  $last_heading = $row['tournament_name'];
  }
  echo "<dd>Member {$row['team_id']}</dd>\n";
  }

  if($last_heading != null){

echo "</dl>\n";

}

 

 

I want to add a link like this to where I wrote "I WANT TO ADD LINK HERE"

 

<a href=page.php?con=<?php echo $row['tournament_id']; ?>'></a>

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Actually, I should be clearer on clicking the tournament name I want to open another page sending the tournament_id as a post variable...

 

Thanks

Do you want to turn the Tournament {$row['tournament_name']} text into a link or add a separate link after it?

 

Edit: LOL, the IPB forum post notification is pointless.

 

So, you want to turn the tournament name into a link -

 

echo "<dl class='v_show_hide' >\n<dt>Tournament <a href='page.php?con={$row['tournament_id']}'>{$row['tournament_name']}</a></dt>\n";

What is the problem that you have faced with this script? Is there any errors?

I've tried add an href link but it does not work...and yes I want to turn the tournament name into a link

 

Thanks

Ah, I missed the line of code..

 

That works thanks, I had my href in the wrong place

[Staggan]

Actually, I changed the code a little so the link is not on the tournament name, but instead is another dd at the bottom of the list of dd for each dt

 

So,

 

I tried this...

 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
 // detect if the heading changed
 if($last_heading != $row['tournament_name']){
  // heading changed or is the first one

  if($last_heading != null){// not the first one, (optionally) close out the previous section here...
 [color=#FF0000]  echo "<dd><a href='page.php?con={$row['tournament_id']}'>Click to create tournament</dd>\n";[/color]

  echo "</dl>\n";

  }

  echo "<dl class='v_show_hide' >\n<dt>Tournament {$row['tournament_name']}</a></dt>\n";   
  $last_heading = $row['tournament_name'];
  }
  echo "<dd>Member {$row['team_id']}</dd>\n";
  }

  if($last_heading != null){
echo "</dl>\n";

}

 

 

So, the text in red does not work, it works for the first list but for the next list it makes the dt a link and the link var it is trying to post is the same for the first list....

 

I tried this code in a couple of places and ended up with varying results, none of which are what I wanted...

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

You're missing a closing </a> to your link.

[Staggan]

Still not quite right...

 

This is what I have now...

 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
 // detect if the heading changed
 if($last_heading != $row['tournament_name']){
  // heading changed or is the first one
[color=#FF0000]  echo "<dd><a href='page.php?con={$row['tournament_id']}'>Click to create tournament</a></dd>\n";[/color]

  if($last_heading != null){// not the first one, (optionally) close out the previous section here...

  echo "</dl>\n";

  }

  echo "<dl class='v_show_hide' >\n<dt>Tournament {$row['tournament_name']}</a></dt>\n";   
  $last_heading = $row['tournament_name'];
  }
  echo "<dd>Member {$row['team_id']}</dd>\n";
  }

  if($last_heading != null){
echo "</dl>\n";

}

 

The line in red works, but is placed before the tournament name in my list... if I move the line elsewhere it does not have the corrct value for $con or it will show the link on the end of one list but not others...

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks
