Question

I have the echo below and I need to link in it but I get an unexpected T_STRING on that line with the link and it says expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’

The code is:

echo " You Are Now A User Of ClipBoy! 
       Drag the image below to your bookmarks bar for easy access to your site! 
       To get to your site go to 
       <a href"http://themacsplash.com/ClipBoy/userfiles/$myUser" target "_blank">
       http://themacsplash.com/ClipBoy/userfiles/$myUser</a>";

How would I fix this?

Answer 1

Escape the double quotes in your string, like this \"

So it becomes:

echo " You Are Now A User Of ClipBoy! 
       Drag the image below to your bookmarks bar for easy access to your site! 
       To get to your site go to 
       <a href=\"http://themacsplash.com/ClipBoy/userfiles/$myUser\" target=\"_blank\">
       http://themacsplash.com/ClipBoy/userfiles/$myUser</a>";
