Question

I am trying to change the rows output by PHP in a table to links. I have added the a href tags to the example below, however it results in an unexpected T_VARIABLE. I have tried it without the extra quotes, but this displays a blank table. I am not sure what the flaw in the logic is.

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {     echo '<tr>';      // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element     // of $row to $cell variable     foreach($row as $cell)         echo '<td><a href='$cell'</a></td>';      echo '</tr>\n'; } 

Answer 1

You need to escape the double quotes as that is your string delimiter.

 echo '<td><a href=\'$cell\'>Link</a></td>'; 

Or use single quotes

 echo '<td><a href='' . $cell .''>Link</a></td>';
