Help with AHREF Code...

Anon

Hello,

I am very new to PHP and having some trouble using the A HREF tag with my code. Please have a look... I want to print a link using A HREF and I keep getting a PARSE ERROR in the line with the A HREF tag. Please don't get peeved at me for being a newbie, I am doing this with little knowledge of php.

Thanks and here is the code...

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0){
print "<h1>Sorry</h1>";
print "The search didn't give any result, try again"<BR>;
print "<a href=\"http://www.whatever.com\">CLICK HERE TO GO BACK</A>";
print "</body>";
print "";

exit;
}

}

Whenever I remove the line with the A HREF tag, my code works fine. Whenever I split it up on different lines, it gives the same parse error. I assume I am doing some newbie messup and I can't use A HREF in the syntax I am using it?

the error is in the print line with <BR> tag
make sure u have the <BR> tag within the quotes "". I can see it outside.
print "The search didn't give any result, try again"<BR>; let it go inside
print "<a href=\"http://www.whatever.com\">CLICK HERE TO GO BACK</A>";

Also try using single quotes in html like
<a href='blah.php'>check this</a> INSTEAD OF
<a href="blah.php">check this</a>

this way u need not backslash every quote.
