Named Anchors from DB

[kayakn]

Thanks ahead of time for your patience.

I am currently using PHP 5 MySQL 5 and Apache2

I have repetitive queries to a DB that includes a request for a Named Anchor.

<ul><li>

<A href="<?php $field = 'id=22'; include '../inc/query_.php'; echo "#".$row['link']; ?>">

<?php echo $row['name']; ?></A>

</li></ul>

<?php $field = 'id=22'; ?> // id loops from 1-30

<?php include '../inc/query_.php';?>

<?php include '../inc/test.inc.php';?>

...from test.inc.php....

<a name="<?php echo $row['link']; ?>"></a>

Since Test.inc.php has a page of text, I would expect the Named Anchor to appear at the top of each page.

However, it appears to be placed at the top of the first page for every "id".

 

I have used id instead of name, to no avail, I have used both in the tag, to no avail.

If I hard code the page, it works correctly. When I view page source, it reads correctly.

 

I am sure I am missing some piece of knowledge that will make this work.

How do I make sure that the page interprets the correct location for the anchor?

 

Regards,

kayakn

I cant get my brain to understand this. Please post some more code and wrap them all in code tags.

Here is a complete page wrapped in code tags.

Sorry for the newb mistake

it should be code within [] and not <>, like [ code ] without spaces. Is this snippet working? I can see includes and stuff in an anchor. What is: $field = 'id=22'? Normally for what u want to do u should have:

 

$query = mysql_query("blah blah");
//show links
while($values = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
      echo "<a href="\#{$values['link']}\">Link</a>;
}
//show texts
while($values = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
      echo "<a name=\"{$values['name']}\" />";
      echo $values['text'];
}

 

So you have links at the top and articles or whatever at the bottom. Isnt this what u wanna acomplish?

I would expect the Named Anchor to jump to the paragraph it is attached to, let's say 250 lines down.

Instead, there is no scrolling and the anchors seem to go to the same spot, let's say line 10.

 

If I have the following code:

line 1 <html>
line 2 blah blah
line 3 <a href="#link">link</a>
......
line 10 <a name="link"></a><p this is the paragraph written in HTML.</p>
</html>

You would expect it to jump to line 10. But if this was a PHP page, and lines 4-9 were an include that had 50 lines of text, then wouldn't the anchor be on line 51?

 

I need the Anchor to be dynamically created (not a problem) and then have the anchor be (in this example) line 51.

 

 

Clear as mud??

Is there anything else I can give you that will explain this more clearly?

I understand clearly what u are doing but i need some more code to help u debug. Pls post some more and use [ code ] [ /code ] without spaces.
