not_terry Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have the following line of php to display a page. echo "<td><a href='hotels-in-sharm-el-sheikh-egypt-with%20roadmaps-maps-locations-and%20landmarks-diving-boat-trips-excursions.php?q=" . $row['name'] . "'>More Information</a></td>"; the code works but my editor displays the line as follows..... echo "<td><a href='hotels-in-sharm-el-sheikh-egypt-with%20roadmaps-maps-locations-and%20landmarks-diving-boat-trips-excursions.php?q=" . $row['name] . "'>More Information</a></td>"; somehow the editor is getting confused between the php and html and as you can see the variable name is split into two colours. Normally this would indicate a syntax error. Can anyone correct the syntax or give me a simpler way of creating the link Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278431-php-coding-for-an-html-link/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 echo "<td><a href='hotels-in-sharm-el-sheikh-egypt-with%20roadmaps-maps-locations-and%20landmarks-diving-boat-trips-excursions.php?q=" . $row['name'] . "'>More Information</a></td>";It looks fine in our syntax highlighter. Get a better editor.

ginerjm Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 You are missing a closing single quote on your href= before you issue the closing double quote to concatenate the $row value.

The single quote is right where it needs to be, after the query string.

jeapie Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 try to escape " character like \" instead of using '. May be your editor will show no errors. But still you don't have any mistakes.
