Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Or, if you prefer to use double quoted HTML attributes like the XHTML specs say:echo '<a href="descrip.php?accountnum='.$accountnum.'">'; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33270-solved-sending-varibles/#findComment-155387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Nowhere does that mention double vs single quotes. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33270-solved-sending-varibles/#findComment-155402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott212 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 $accountnum=$row['accountnum'];echo '<center>';echo "<a href=\"descrip.php?accountnum=$accountnum\">";As with Perl, I'm pretty sure php does variable interpolation within double quotes and remains verbatim with single quotes. In this case it would be just as easy to stay with double quotes on your last statement and escape the inner html qoutes. Your $accountnum will still be replaced.
