I am building a small business directory with the following code.

<?
require('connect.php');
/* Performing SQL query */ 
$query = "SELECT * FROM directory GROUP BY business_type"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error()); 

$count = 0; 
$numcol = 4;  // number of columns 
echo '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">'; 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{  

    if($count % $numcol == 0) 
        echo '<tr align="center">'; 
        echo '<td width="25%"><a href="test.php$Id=$row[business_type]">' . $row['business_type'] . "</a></td>\n"; 

$count++; 
if($count % $numcol == 0) 
    echo '</tr>'; 
}  // end while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
echo '</table>';
?> 

My problem is that I want to create a hyperlink - notice the code above:

<a href="test.php$Id=$row[business_type]">

I need to display the results for $row[business_type] but it doesnt show the results in the hyperlink. What do I need to do?

Thanks

The problem might be that you're using single quotes so do something like e.g.

        echo '<td width="25%"><a href="test.php$Id='.$row['business_type'].'">' . $row['business_type'] ."</a></td>\n";
