HREF link tag and variables

loci

I am trying to use a variable with the

href

tag to link to a file in a directory called 64, as follows:

<a href= $song >Please Click Here!!</a>

the varible $song has the path in it, that is, the value of this variable is the path.

is there a way i can use PHP to get this to work. My ultimate goal is to get paths from a database.

These paths are linked to media files in my server directory, users will then be able to

click these link to download the media files.

all suggestions welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Didn't work though

I got this on page when i tried it

$song = "64/01 One More Time.mp3" ; Please Click Here!!

thanks for the suggestion again.

Without knowing what's in the variable $song, it's pretty hard to debug.

truly sorry man,

it did work, i was doing something wrong initially.

Thanks again.

Don't forget to mark this thread resolved.

Also, note that the problem wasn't (entirely, if at all) PHP-related; it was the fact that you didn't have quotes around the value for the "href" attribute; not only is this not valid HTML (you are validating your pages with a validator such as http://validator.w3.org, right?) but it will not work when you have spaces in your file names.
