Echo URL in PHP - having problems with a href in echo

Expand Post »
This is the echo code from my site:
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <?php
  2. $url1 = "http://www.canadiandriver.com";
  3. $url2 = "http://www.chevrolet.com.br";
  4. $autoguide = "Autoweekly";
  5. $autoguide1 = /"<b>"<a href=\"$url1\buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php"\>New car of the day</a>"/</b>";
  6. ?>

Yet it produces a T_STRING error, and I can't work out how to fix it.
The other variables work fine, $autoguide1 does not, and no matter how much I practice, this one is hard for me to figure out.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Dear Friend.
I am Not Understand that Actually What You want to Do with The above Code but if u want to print the autoguide1 variable then plz follow below code:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <?php
  2. $url1 = "http://www.canadiandriver.com";
  3. $url2 = "http://www.chevrolet.com.br";
  4. $autoguide = "Autoweekly";
  5. $autoguide1 = "<b><a href=$url1/buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php>New car of the day</a></b>";
  6. echo "$autoguide"; //if u dont want to print the auoguide variable then remove this line.
  7. echo "$autoguide1";
  8. ?>

  6. echo "$autoguide"; //if u dont want to print the auoguide variable then remove this line.
  7. echo "$autoguide1";
  8. ?>
Thank you for that - the code below worked:
Quote ...
$autoguide1 = "<b><a href=$url1/buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php>New car of the day</a></b>";
echo "$autoguide"; //if u dont want to print the auoguide variable then remove this line.
echo "$autoguide1";
However, what should I do to make the quotation marks bold within $autoguide1 without getting this error:
Quote ...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\www\vhosts\mycarsite\testing.php on line 5

Your problem is the non-catenated strings. Try this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. $autoguide1 = "<strong><a href='$url1/buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php'>New car of the day</a></strong>";

<b> is (or is being) deprecated - use <strong>.

Thanks, that worked, however, how do I make the quotation marks bold within $autoguide1 - I only get the first one and it ends up as this:
Quote ...
"New car of the day
- the second quotation marks set doesn't appear, for some reason.

Does this code work?

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. $vwpassat = "<strong>\"<a href='$url1/buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php'>VW PASSAT ARGENTINA</a>\"</strong>";

This seems to work - is this the correct syntax for bold quotation marks now?

Re: Echo URL in PHP - having problems with a href in echo
@whitestream:
Yes that's fine - I'm sorry, I didn't realise you needed the quote marks in the displayed text.

Hmm, I was once told that attribute values should be placed in double quote marks for XHTML - however I can't remember seeing that in my cursories. If you need this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. vwpassat = "<strong>\"<a href=\"$url1/buyers-guide/2010/volkswagen/passat.php\">VW PASSAT ARGENTINA</a>\"</strong>";
should work

Re: Echo URL in PHP - having problems with a href in echo
If I understand your problem you would like to achieve the following :
"This is a new car" :
use this :

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. $car = "<a href='$url/somepage.php'><strong>&quot;</strong>This is a new car<strong>&quot;</strong></a>";
  2. echo $car;

If you would achieve this :
"This is a new car"
then use this :

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. $car = "<a href='$url/somepage.php'><strong>&quot;This is a new car&quot;</strong></a>";
  2. echo $car;
