image as a link .....

[thriller372]

Hi,I have an image url stored in a database, I can display the image no problem using this code:

 

 echo '<td><img src="'.$row['thumb'].'"></td>';

 

I am trying to use a variable as a link when you click on the image, as so:

 

<a href='showthumb.php?thumb=$clientthumb'></a>

 

I can use the image as a link but the $clienthumb variable does not show the value of the variable, for example:

 

I get the image with a link of showthumb.php?thumb=$clientthumb

but I need

The image with a link of showthumb.php?thumb=1 (the number one is $clientthumb value)

 

echo '<td><img src="'.$row['thumb'].'"></td>';

<a href='showthumb.php?thumb=$clientthumb'></a>

You need to put the string inside double quotes to expand variable values

echo "<td><a href='showthumb.php?thumb=$clientthumb'><img src='{$row['thumb']}' /></a></td>";

Fantastic and so simple works a treat, I'd spent nearly two days on this (I like to try and work it out for myself) and got nowhere.You lot make it all seem so simple Cheers
