Query issue

[7724]

Hi,

In my Query I call data from a database row:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($res)) { 

echo "<tr>"; 
echo "<td width='10%' bgcolor='#EEEEEE'><input type='checkbox' name='d<?php echo $n;?>' value='". $row->story_id."'></td>";

Ie : ". $row->story_id.

However, I declare a variable named $n on the actual page in the head of my site (ie it's not in the database). How can I call it in this code here as using:

name='d<?php echo $n;?>

does not work?

Thanks

Chris

You are already inside php tags <?php and ?> so you can't do it again.

<?php //somewhere there in the beginning


while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($res)) {

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width='10%' bgcolor='#EEEEEE'><input type='checkbox' name='d$n' value='". $row->story_id."'></td>"; 

//or
echo "<td width='10%' bgcolor='#EEEEEE'><input type='checkbox' name='d".$n."' value='". $row->story_id."'></td>"; 

//somewhere in the end
?>
