[RESOLVED] <a name>

[damienmcd]

Simple one here:

I am trying to use something similar to the HTML

<A NAME="purchasing">Purchasing</A>

<A HREF="anameexample.html#purchasing">Purchasing</A>

However this does not seem to work with PHP. Is there another way of doing the same thing in PHP?

I need to have a link to different sections of my PHP page from an index page.

Thanx in advance!

This isn't a PHP issue, but an HTML issue.

PHP gets parsed by the server, and outputs the processed HTML. So as long as anexample.html has an anchor tag with a matching name, and you link to #anchor-name, it should work.

If it's not working, I would take a look at what your processed HTML result looks like by doing a view > (page) source after loading your page. If it's still not working, post the relevant code and we'll take a look.

Hope this helps.

You were right. the source didn't have the <a name> anchors in it when it was processed but I moved them to within the table I was working with and it fixed the problem.

Thanx!!
