Basic PHP Question: Internal Linking

[walterbennet]

I have a very basic problem. I need to be able to use internal linking ( <a name = "Name"></a> and <a href="#Name"> Link here</a>, ) with my script but it just doesn't seem to be working with my current code...

echo '<a name="',$data[name],'"></a>';

You can check the script out here: http://skullknight.net/php/glossary.php

For an example of where it doesn't work, scroll down to "Hawk of Darkness" and click the link there "See also Prophecy..". The href points to "#Prophecy of the Hawk" which exists when I view the source, however, the link simply takes me to the top of the page.

Am I messing up the syntax or something? This is a very basic element of HTML that I've used for years, but suddenly when I migrate it to PHP, it stops functioning... Please help!

Yeah.. I don't don't believe you can use spaces in named anchors. Replace spaces with underscores or something of that nature.

Fixed it. It was a problem of the placement of the name tag in the loop (it was outside the table). So, it was spewing out the names at the top of the page, all in a huge line, which is why it was pointing to the top of the page... Well, thanks anyway! 🙂
