if () statement

[Anon]

I am having a problem with an if statement and a recordset. I cannot get it to work correctly. I keep getting a parsing error. right now i have..

<?php
if ($Recordset jobs->Fields("location") == "Hummelstown")

		echo "Sally  
		<a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a><br>

		";

	else

	echo "Donna 
  <a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a><br>

  ";

  ?>

Parse error could be bcoz of the double quotes(") after href in echo.
You cannot have a double quote if echo begins with a double quote, unless you escape it with a slash.
Either Escape it with a slash or conver it into single quotes.

Try that if that resolves the problem.

It would help, Greg, if you'd tell us what line the error was on. But looking at your code, Brij is correct. You need to escape your double quotes, though the backslash is the escape character, not the slash:

echo "Donna
<a href=\"mailto:[e-mail]\">[e-mail]</a><br>";

try this:

<?php
if ($Recordset jobs->Fields("location") == "Hummelstown") {
echo "Sally <a href=\"mailto:[e-mail]\">[e-mail]</a><br>";
else {
echo "Donna <a href=\"mailto:[e-mail]\">[e-mail]</a><br>";
}
?>

Thanks for your help. Adding in the slashes to break up the quotes worked like a charm. Thanks again.
