Confused: I need quote marks between my url content.

[cheshil]

Hi there,

A friend of mine done this code (below) and is not available right now. I need to have the url to start and end with quote marks.

Correct Example:

<a href="link here">something here</a>

Incorrect Example ( as my code produces no quote marks)

<a href=link here>something here</a>

What do I need to do to add these quotes marks in my code below?

function db_paging($url,$total_pages,$page)
{

 if($page > 1){ 
    //$pre="<img src='../images/b_back.gif' alt='Previous' width='11' height='15' border='0'>";
	$pre = "&laquo;";
    $prev = ($page - 1); 
    $page_list="<a href=$url"."&amp;page=$prev>".$pre."</a>&nbsp;"; 
  } 

  for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if($page == $i)
	    { 
          $page_list.="[$i]&nbsp;"; 
        } 
		else 
		{ 
          $page_list.="<a href=$url"."&amp;page=$i>$i</a>&nbsp;"; 
        } 
  } 

  if($page < $total_pages){ 
    //$nex = "<img src='../images/b_next.gif' alt='Next' width='11' height='15' border='0'>";
	$nex = "&raquo;";
    $next = ($page + 1); 
    $page_list.="<a href=$url"."&amp;page=$next>".$nex."</a>"; 
  }  

  return $page_list; 
}

Hope you can help 🙂

Thanks C

$page_list = '<a href="'.$url.'&page='.$prev.'">'.$pre.'</a>&nbsp';

thanks for that but I am being a complete idiot here.

How does the syntax work for this one?

$page_list.="<a href=$url"."&page=$i>$i</a>&nbsp;";  

sorry I feel real foolish but I just can't see it 🙁

$page_list.='<a href="'.$url.'&page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a>&nbsp;';
