Correct My Code?

[herghost]

Well, using the little php I know I have come up with this:

<?php
			function changelink($change)
            {
			$find = "htmlspecialchars($row["source"])";
  $replace = "<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/($row["source"])?tag=speciainvita-21&camp=1406&creative=6394&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=($row["source"])" />";




  $change = preg_replace($find, $replace, $change);
  return $change;
}


         <?php echo $change; ?>

Which obviously doesn't work!

What I am trying to do is insert "source" into various places in the bottom line. I am guessing there is another way of doing this apart from the find and replace method as I am guessing trying to find a string will not work. I just wanna know how to do this! I welcome anyone who can show me how to do this and explain how it works as I am really trying to learn php and not just copy and paste!

This is the line originally:

Code:

<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row["source"]); ?>

and "source" is gathered using:

Code:

<input name="source" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($source)); ?>" maxlength="255" size="50"/>

Thanks

The code you posted isn't a valid php script. If you're getting a syntax error, you should try to examine your script and find it.
