[SOLVED] getting users id in link

[runnerjp]

im using

 ><?php echo '<a href="test/update.php?id=' . $id . '">Link</a>'; ?>td> 

to try get the users id so can be used on the linked page but all i get is www.website.com/test/update.php?id=    and no id found??

[priti]

Try,

><?php echo '<a href="test/update.php?id='.$id.'">Link</a>'; ?>td>

 

improper html.

 

check weather $id is empty or not???

 

Regards

hmmm nope lol...i usually use echo  get_username ( $_SESSION['user_id'] ) to get users id... any way i can incorprate that into it??

[pdkv2]

$id=$_SESSION['user_id'];

Probably not where your problem is, but you're missing part of your <td> tag at the end of that line of code.

you could just take out all html of your script, except the link, and see if it is the invalid html causing your error

ok with

<?php echo '<a href="test/update.php?id=$_SESSION['user_id']>Link</a>'; ?>

i get syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

 

 

but i ended it :S

<?php

echo "<a href=\"test/update.php?id=$_SESSION['user_id']\">Link</a>";

?>

[runnerjp]

ty revraz but it appears to have unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

<?php echo"<a href=\"test/update.php?id=$_SESSION['user_id']\">Link[/url]";?>

 

 

also you coundt quickly look at wats wrong here could you

<td><a href="<?php  echo  get_username ( $_SESSION['user_id'] )  ; ?>MyProfile</a>.</td>

  im missing something i belive

[trq]

<?php echo "<a href='test/update.php?id={$_SESSION['user_id']}'>Link</a>";?>

<td><a href="<?php echo get_username($_SESSION['user_id']); ?>">MyProfile</a>.</td>

That error is probably from a line above this, not this actual line.
