Question

The following line is supposed to print a list item which is a variable picture that points to a variable link

  echo '<li><a href='http://www.twitter.com/'".$person."'>
          <img src ="'.$person.'.jpg'.'"/></a></li>';

I am getting the following error though

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' 

I am pretty sure I’ve screwed up the syntax in the a href part as I’m not quite sure how to handle the variables in the URLs…

Help is appreciated….Thanks!

Answer 1

Just use variable interpolation there.

echo "<li><a href='http://www.twitter.com/$person'><img src='$person.jpg'/></a></li>";
