Hi everyone,

 

When I put this in html it works fine:

 

    



<a href="" onclick="loadPage('page.php'); return false"> Create Character </a><br/>;

 

But when I do this:

 

    



echo '<a href="" onclick="loadPage('page.php'); return false"> Create Character </a><br/>';

it gives me a syntax error. All I have done is put ' ' around the link. What is the right syntax??

Thanks for the reply.

 

OK, so now it parses. Also the link shows up, but when I click on it, the link goes nowhere.

 

I know the link works, because I have tried it outside of php....i.e. just

<a href="" onclick="loadPage('page.php'); return false"> Create Character </a><br/>

the following is functions.js:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function loadPage(url){
        $("#wrapper").empty();
        $("#wrapper").load(url, function(){
            $("#wrapper").find($('a')).each(function(){
                $(this).on('click', function(e){
                    loadPage($(this).attr('href'));
                    e.preventDefault();
                });
            });
        });
    }
    
   
</script>

page.php

<?php 

    // First we execute our common code to connection to the database and start the session 
    define('MyConst', TRUE);
	
	include('database.class.php');
 	include('table.class.php'); 
 	include('user.class.php');
	include('loginattempts.class.php');
	include('timer.class.php'); 
 	include('functions.php'); 
 	include('loginf.php');
	
	$dbo = database::getInstance();
	$dbo -> connect("chanology.db.10835750.hostedresource.com", "chanology", "chanology", "XtuV1439!", array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8')); 
	
	secSessionStart();

    // At the top of the page we check to see whether the user is logged in or not 
    if(empty($_SESSION['user'])) 
    { 
        // If they are not, we redirect them to the login page. 
        header("Location: login.php"); 
         
        // Remember that this die statement is absolutely critical.  Without it, 
        // people can view your members-only content without logging in. 
        die("Redirecting to login.php"); 
    } 
     
    // Everything below this point in the file is secured by the login system 
     
    // We can display the user's username to them by reading it from the session array.  Remember that because 
    // a username is user submitted content we must use htmlentities on it before displaying it to the user. 

?>
 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">

<a href="page2.php">Link text</a>

and the following is private.php

    define('MyConst', TRUE);
	
	include('database.class.php');

 	include('user.class.php');
	include('loginattempts.class.php');
	include('timer.class.php'); 
 	include('functions.php'); 
 	include('loginf.php');
	
    
	$dbo = database::getInstance();
	$dbo -> connect("chanology.db.10835750.hostedresource.com", "chanology", "chanology", "XtuV1439!", array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8')); 
	
	secSessionStart();

    // At the top of the page we check to see whether the user is logged in or not 
    if(empty($_SESSION['user'])) 
    { 
        // If they are not, we redirect them to the login page. 
        header("Location: login.php"); 
         
        // Remember that this die statement is absolutely critical.  Without it, 
        // people can view your members-only content without logging in. 
        die("Redirecting to login.php"); 
    } 
     
    // Everything below this point in the file is secured by the login system 
     
    // We can display the user's username to them by reading it from the session array.  Remember that because
