html with php

is using echo() and print() the only way on outputting html?

i tried to do hyperlink (<a href...>) through echo() or print(); but it just doesn't work. is there a way to put a link in php?

thanks

Check the manual for the differences between echo(), print(), pintf(), and sprintf().

If all you're doing is outputting a link, use echo(). or print() like this:

echo "<a href=\"edit_extURL.php3?urlID=$num&Eurl=$url\">$num</a>";

With echo(), the parens are not required.

hi again

i have something like
<?php
...
print("<a href="conform.html"> back </a>");
...
?>

but why it still doesn't work ? 🙁
it drives me mad

every html tag based supposed to be alright to be put into print() or echo() aren't they?!?!

thanks

You must escape any quotes inside the HTML, e.g.,

print("<a href=\"conform.html\"> back </a>");

thanks

You can also enclose the line in single quotes to force literal interpretation. Example:

echo '<a href="conform.html">back</a>';

This will, of course, prevent you from conviniently using variables in the output...
