simple concat

ghornet

$test is an array, I get an error
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\newstuff\ftp\filetransfer.php on line 36

It looks like it is concated correctly, what am I doing wrong?

foreach($test as $i)
{
echo "<a href = http://www.techalliance.net\ftp\Directory\". $username . "\". $i . ">" . $i "</a>";
echo "<br>";
}

missed a period, but still does not work

echo "<a href = http://www.techalliance.net\ftp\Directory\". $username . "\". $i . ">" . $i . "</a>";

You escaped the closing "
if you want a \ you need to write \....
Try this:
echo "<a href = http://www.techalliance.net\ftp\Directory\$username\$i>$i</a>";

(the double quotes do varaible interpolation, so you don't need to colse them)

ok so I got that working, it was to show a file in a users folder, and hyperlink it so they can download it. I was told that I would need to redirect to a .exe file or some other type of file for the users to download it apon clicking it, unlike what it does now and opens it in the web browser.

Never done it, but I think this could be done with the right header()
