Ancor link and php Get error

php3ch0

Hi everyone

I am using this link on my home page:

<a href="news.php?article=<?php echo $row_news2['id']; ?>#viewnews"><?php echo $row_news2['title']; ?></a>

This will link to the news story further down located by tag:

<a name="viewnews"></a>

This works fine for code but when I try to validate the HTML using W3C 4.01 I get this error:

Line 154 column 123: "VIEWNEWS" is not a function name.

How can I do this so that my page is valid?

What's on line 154 of the rendered code you're having validated?

I believe Wyder is correct. There must be some other error as the following code Does validate:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<a name="viewnews"></a>

</body>
</html>

php3ch0

the code on that line is:

<a href="news.php?article=<?php echo $row_news2['id']; ?>#viewnews"><?php echo $row_news2['title']; ?></a>

which would produce something like:

<a href="news.php?article=1&#viewnews">This is a news story</a>

You want to validate your HTML, not your PHP. Put your PHP on the webserver, view it through a browser and either paste THAT source into the validator or give that URL to the validator.

The W3C validator does NOT know PHP and will completely bork if you try to put in PHP.
