[Resolved] PHP tags inside an echo statement?

alexboyer

Is this possible? Here's the code for what I'm trying to do:

<?php if ($rnd == 1) {
							echo <a href="pics.php?rnd= $_GET['rnd'] + 1">;
								}
								?>

Basically, if a variable sent to the page is more than or equal to a certain number, it will change a word to a hyperlink. If it's zero or less, it will just look like text.

Thanks for the help.

Ok, I got this to do what I wanted:

<? if ($_GET['rnd'] > 1) {
             $newrnd = $_GET[rnd] - 1;
             echo "<a href=pics.php?rnd=";
             echo $newrnd;
             echo ">"
;}?>

But is there any way to clean up the code so I don't have so many echo statements in there?

Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm reading the PHP bible as well... Thanks for the three tips though. Any luck on the code clean up cause that's my question.

Thanks again

Sorry, i'm a bit tired, read through my previous quote of your code...its been edited to add 1 to the value, inline in the echo statement.

<?php if ($rnd == 1) { 
                            echo <a href="pics.php?rnd= ".$_GET['rnd'] + 1.">; 
                                } 
                                ?>

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';'' in /xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/httpdocs/coolstuff/pics.php on line 63

Sorry, I'll just use what I've got for now I guess.

<? phpif ($rnd == 1) {
        echo "<a href=\"pics.php?rnd=". ($_GET['rnd'] + 1) ."\">";
    }

?>

Sorry, missed an ending quote...didn't think to paste it in an editor and look at it first...

Awesome! It works how I want and isn't redundant anymore. Cool!

Thanks!
