Whats wrong with this code
 

I know there is something wrong with this code because I got an error message but Im not sure exactly what. THis is all on one line within dreamweaver. Here it is:

echo '<a href="?pageState=Database" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('database','','Images/databasebuttonpushed.gif',1)"><img src="Images/databasebutton.gif" name="database" width="200" height="30" border="0"></a>';

Any help is appreciated. Btw it pointed to this line. Im guessing it has something to do with the quotes and apostrophes but Im not sure exactly about the syntax.

Ok. The problem comes when you use ' inside your statement with ' on the outside. So something like this is not good:

echo 'some text 'more text' and more text';

PHP expects 'more text' to be some kind of variable or operator. I think you will need to use " on the outside and \" any " inside of the statement. Something like this:

[PHP]
echo "<a href=\"?pageState=Database\" onMouseOut=\"MM_swapImgRestore()\"
onMouseOver=\"MM_swapImage('database','','Images/databasebuttonpushed.gif',1)\">
<img src=\"Images/databasebutton.gif\" name=\"database\"
width=\"200\" height=\"30\" border=\"0\"></a>";[/PHP]

Its a pain, but I don't know of any way around it.

Yes, that sounds right, but just to clarify. If you quote the whole echo statement with ', then you can use " freely, but must use \' to get the ' to work. And vice versa. Make sense? I noticed you had several ' in the echo which signaled an end of the echo before you were done. \" is not necessary if you use ' on the outside and \' is not necessary if you use " on the outside.

Alcides.
