error

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the following?

  echo "<a href="index.php?currentpage=viewitem&item=$filename">"

yes... you finish a string when you don't intend to. Read up on strings in the PHP manual:

Strings

Try this:

echo "<a href=\"index.php?currentpage=viewitem&item=$filename\">"

or

echo '<a href="index.php?currentpage=viewitem&item=$filename">'
