Bad Code

[eggoz]

I am a beginning with php, I have a book and everything, but I had a question about nesting html code. So far I have a table that calls data from my database, but I can not figure out to create links on one of the columns. Here is what I have:

print "<table border=1>\n"; 
while ( $b_row = mysql_fetch_row( $results ) ) { 
   print "<tr>\n"; 
   foreach ( $b_row as $field ) 
      print "\t<td>; 
      print "<a href="$field">$field</a>; 
      </td>\n"; 
   print "</tr>\n"; 
} 
print "</table>\n"; 

I'm sure by the code you can tell what I am trying to do. Yet, it doesn't work. Where am I going wrong on this? Thanks.

You can scape from the php secquence with ?>
Its much better for your code to do this when you use php and html output. Try this:

?>
<table border=1>

<?
while ( $b_row = mysql_fetch_row( $results ) ) {
?>

<tr>
<?
foreach ( $b_row as $field )
?>
<td>
<a href=<? echo $field; ?>><? echo $field; ?></a>
</td>
</tr>
<?
}
?>
</table>

The problem in your code is the excesive use of ".. you was having error code in some like:
print "<a href="$some">$some</a>";
The second " end the print function (in "$some). You can use some like:

print "<a href='$some'>$some</a>";

Post the results.

Good Luck.

I just help you in the " error; not the code. anyway you have right.

I got that working. How is it possible to create a table and letting me format the first column with bold and the next underlined. When I do this, I can only format the columns one way.
