[SOLVED] combining php variable with html url

[chrisuk]

I am trying to create a URL from a record in a database IF there is an entry in the filename field(otherwise i wish for it to say "no file submitted")

 

I have tried both:

 

$url = '<a href="http://<site>/uploads/"'echo $filename'>Link</a>';

 

and

 

$url = '<a href="http://<site>/uploads/'echo $filename;'">Link</a>';

but both give:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ECHO in <site/page.php> on line 33

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

you are putting the varables in a litral string

 

$url = "<a href=\"<site>/uploads/$filename\">Link</a>";

 

that should work

It should be done this way:

$url = '<a href="http://<site>/uploads/'.$filename.'>Link</a>';

 

Orio.
