Quick php link question

[wrstroud]

Can someone help me figure out how to write this correctly...I keep getting errors.

echo <a href="http://mysite.com/"$name>"$name"</a>;

I'm trying to make a link that will just output the $name variable but that name variable will link to mysite.com/name

# Using single quotes
echo '<a href="http://www.example.org/'.$name.'">'.$name.'</a>';

# Using double quotes
echo "<a href='http://www.example.org/$name'>$name</a>";

Then theres always...

 echo "<a href=\"http://mysite.com/".$name."\">".$name."</a>";

Thats the long way around I guess...

Pretty much the \" is just escaping the quotes in front of it so they show in your page source...

You can also use php's Heredoc. Anyway, try googling next time there are at least four easy ways to do it
