i am trying to hyperlink text to my url variable, but i can't get the syntax of right. the url variable is the hyperlink to the header text.  i thought "<a href=\"$row['url']\">"; would work but it does not, i get

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\wamp\www\s2007\view_a.php on line 17

 

row 17 corresponds to echo "<a href=\"$row['url']\">";

 

 

my explantion might not be clear but please ask any questions that you have

 

<?php

 

include 'config.php';

include 'opendb.php';

 

$header = $_GET['header'];

$url = $_GET['url'];

$description = $_GET['description'];

 

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles") or die(mysql_error());

 

// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $results )) {

// Print out the contents of each row into a table

echo "<table width=\"90%\" border=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#0000CC\">";

echo "<tr><td bgcolor=\"#006699\"><div align=\"center\">";

echo "<a href=\"$row['url']\">";

echo $row['header']";

echo "</a></div></td></tr>";

echo "<tr><td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><div align=\"center\">

echo $row['description'];

echo "</div></td></tr>";

}

echo "</table>";

 

include 'closedb.php';

?>
