Displaying HTML within PHP?

Anon

Newbie question here:

I'm trying to get PHP to make an HTML link appear on my "data submitted confirmation" page.

Here is a snippet of the code I am using:

$result = mysql_query($sql);

print mysql_error();

echo $sql;

echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";

echo "TEST\n";

All I want to do is add a "back" link after the thank you message, but every time I try it, I get PHP errors.

I just don't know what the syntax is...

🙁

Any ideas?

Thanks a ton,

Just print out a hyperlink:

print "<a href=\"Page.php\">Go Back</a>";

print "<a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1);">Go Back</a>";

THANK YOU!

(I guess I should have used "print" instead of "echo", huh?)

THANKS AGAIN!

echo "<a href="http://">Here!</a>";

That won't work because PHP thinks your print statement meant to print <a href= and then dectects and error because everything else doesn't appear to be PHP code.

So you need to escape extra " (quotes) by doing...

echo "<a href=\"http://\">Here!</a>";

Or instead try this code (it'll will bypass " as just a " instead of the end of a statement).

echo '<a href="http://">Here!</a>';
