make a link from an array variable

Jun 25th, 2009

Hello everybody,
anyone can help me with this problem?
instead of just display the child (in array)..echo $Valuechild[$i]."; ";
(see the below code)..I would like to make a link from $Valuechild[$i] to a details of that variable..

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<TEXTAREA NAME="comments3" style='width:50%' rows='4'>
<?php
for ($i =0; $i < $ValuenumtableChildren; $i++)
{
//$showsibling = $showsibling.$Valuechild[$i]."; ";
echo $Valuechild[$i]."; ";
?>	
<?php
}
?>	
</TEXTAREA>
<TEXTAREA NAME="comments3" style='width:50%' rows='4'>
<?php
for ($i =0; $i < $ValuenumtableChildren; $i++)
{
//$showsibling = $showsibling.$Valuechild[$i]."; ";
echo $Valuechild[$i]."; ";
?>	
<?php
}
?>	
</TEXTAREA>

This:
<a href="viewingdetails.php?name=<?php echo $Valuesibling[$i]."?></a>;
Should be this:

<a href="viewingdetails.php?name=<?php echo .$Valuesibling[$i].?>"</a>;

Could you please post the lines around $Valuechild=array(); and check that it also uses the right casing because I can only see half the picture here.

Hi there, from the past couple of posts, you guys are on the right track, it just seems that no-one remembered to close the anchor tag properly, it should be like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#
<?php
#
for ($i =0; $i < $ValuenumtableChildren; $i++)
#
{
#
echo '<a href="viewingdetails.php?name='.$Valuechild[$i].'">LINK TEXT GOES HERE</a>';
#
}
#
?>
#
<?php
#
for ($i =0; $i < $ValuenumtableChildren; $i++)
#
{
#
echo '<a href="viewingdetails.php?name='.$Valuechild[$i].'">LINK TEXT GOES HERE</a>';
#
}
#
?>

$me = new Person();
if (isset($_COOKIE)){
$me->eat($_COOKIE);
} else { $me->starve(); }

hi..
I have tried that one as well..
the same output displayed.. (as below)

<a href="viewingdetails.php?name=Matter in Nature">LINK TEXT GOES HERE</a>
Matter in Nature should be underlined, to be linked to the detail page.

any help??
thanks

It could be the spaces, run the values thru the htmlentities() function
and try again, but i can't see any reason why that link wouldn't work as it is in your last post.

$me = new Person();
if (isset($_COOKIE)){
$me->eat($_COOKIE);
} else { $me->starve(); }
