a href links in php?

7724

Hi All,

Hopefully an easy one for you. On a script I have I ask the page to link to:

<a href='?cal_start=$prev'>

Now I also want it to have the GET property_id in the href as well:

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Chris

Installer

$link = '<a href="?cal_start=' . $prev . '&property_id=' . $_GET['property_id'] . '">';

Thanks,

So surely this:

<a href='?cal_start=$next'&property_id='.$_GET['property_id'].'>&gt;</a>

Should work. As far as I can see all my 's match up. Driving me mad? Can anyone cast their eye over it?

You seem to be mixing your single and double quotes. You should decide which ones you are going to use to quote strings and then use that one consistently. I believe single-quotes are slightly faster as PHP doesn't parse them but the performance gain will only be very very slight and you might decide the convenience of double-quotes is better.

So for your example, with double-quotes:

echo "<a href='?cal_start=$next&property_id={$_GET['property_id']}'>&gt;</a>";

and, with single quotes

echo '<a href="?cal_start='.$next.'&property_id='.$_GET['property_id'].'">&gt;</a>';
