Links in PHP

[Anon]

I have made my page where PHP checks to see if a file exists. I want to be able to make it a link if it exists, and plain text if it doesn't. I know it uses an if, else statement, but i don't know how to make a link. Here is my code so far:

<?php
if ( file_exists("home.htm")
{
print "<a href="home.htm">Home</a>";
}
else
{
print "Home";
}
?>

But, I continually get a parse error on the <a href> line. Please help!

dont use a double quote inside your double quote, try print \"<a href=\'home.htm\'>Home</a>\";

you can\'t use quotation marks within print, because PHP recognizes those (among other symbols) as having a different purpose.. In order to use quotation marks, you must put a slash in front of it, like so: \\"

<?php
if ( file_exists(\'home.htm\') {
echo \"<a href=\\"home.htm\\">Home</a>\";
}
else {
echo \"Home\";
}
?>

If you would like it to point to a different page if the page does not exist for ex: 404.php then here is a code it use. I put this code i a page itself and name it go.php and hen i make links i liknk them to go.php?page=pagename...

<b>CODE</b>
<?php if (! file_exists("$page.php"))
{
include("404.php");
}
else
{
include("$page.php");
}
?>

Your missing the second ')' at the end of the IF statement!
