Question

Does anyone know how to make a link out of a php variable. I want my php variable $LeagueLink to be a link to leaguehome with the name of the result of a mysql query. Please help if you can….

$result = mysql_query("SELECT League FROM League_Info WHERE User_ID = '$id'");
$result2 = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    $result3 = $result2['League'];
    $LeagueLink = '<a href="home.com/test.php"><?=$result3?></a>';

Answer 1

$LeagueLink = "<a href=\"http://home.com/leaguehome.php\">$result3</a>";

To place variables directly into a string like above, it needs to be a double quote string ("), not a single quote string (')

Or, if you’re worried about carelessness-provoked errors, use string concatenation:

$LeagueLink = '<a href="http://home.com/leaguehome.php">' . $result3 . '</a>';
