cooldude832 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I like to use only double quotes, so this is with double quotes <?php echo "<a href=\"http://www.adamplowman.co.uk".$dir.$name."\">Service delivery team</a>"; ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81356-solved-echo-variable-in-a-href/#findComment-412871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooldude832 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Question for you, do you use a pretty print editor? If you don't I'd suggest you get one cause it will make your life a ton easier because you can pick up syntaxical errors very quickly. Your version doesn't escape back into a string after $name Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81356-solved-echo-variable-in-a-href/#findComment-412881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam291086 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I do use an editor at home. I am at work at the mo supposed to be watching people in a pool. I'd rather be coding for my uni project. Therefore i am having to use notepad Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81356-solved-echo-variable-in-a-href/#findComment-412884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 if only I had a pool to sit next to, oh wait it be frozen. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81356-solved-echo-variable-in-a-href/#findComment-412888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
