kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm attempting to turn the results of a query into urls, yet I keep getting this error, "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in staff.php on line 190." I've coded and recoded this, yet for some reason I cannot get this error to go away. I know it's probably simple, but what am I missing? - Kyle <table border="0" align="center" class="results"> <?php do { ?> <tr> <td><?php echo <a href="department.php?dept=$row_rs_departments['Department_Title']"$row_rs_departments['Department_Title']</a>; ?></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row_rs_departments = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_departments)); ?> </table> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62898-solved-displaying-mysql-results-as-urls/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Different error this time, so apparently one thing is cleared up "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in staff.php on line 192". I don't see any semi-colins that are astray nor missing... Any ideas?

kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Seems to have taken care of that error, but it seems to hang at about the same place with this error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in staff.php on line 190 <?php echo "<a href=\"department.php?dept=$row_rs_departments['Department_Title']\">$row_rs_departments['Department_Title']</a>"; ?> That's the line it hangs on Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62898-solved-displaying-mysql-results-as-urls/#findComment-313123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Unfortunately, same error on the same line. Here's the code again just for us to stair at. I've tried a bunch of different combinations to no avail. <?php do { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>"; echo "<a href=\"department.php?dept=".$row_rs_departments['Department_Title']."\">$row_rs_departments['Department_Title'][/url]"; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } while ($row_rs_departments = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_departments)); ?> Sorry to be such a pain Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62898-solved-displaying-mysql-results-as-urls/#findComment-313146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 The result when using the last code was this: Engineering[/url]Quotes[/url]Quotes[/url]Customer Service[/url] (it's supposed to be inline, minus the URL line It odly enough seems to put hyperlinks (proper ones) about half way down the page that are dashes.

kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've got rid of the URL part in the links, but it's still putting the exact same hyperlink about half way down the page (in dashes).

jbrill Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 i dont really understand how u want it to look, or what you are really trying to do. try explaining to me a bit more and i'll help you out. by the way, i noticed this site is for a machine company. I have just developed a job management program that organizes all the jobs being done in the shop, prints quotes, M&I's etc. don't know if it anything that would interest you but let meknow Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62898-solved-displaying-mysql-results-as-urls/#findComment-313193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleldi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 There are just a bunch of little dashes created by the code that make additional urls on the bottom left hand side of the window that I need to get rid of. The page is just listing departments for a staff directory. The next page which I am working on will be a detailed list of every employee in that department, linking to a employee detail page for each employee.. It's just all entirely dynamic so we can update it easily- since we're constantly changing. Your program sounds interesting, right now we use a similar program called JobBoss. I hate its bulk, but its very versitle.
