This might be a very simple answer but my brain is absolutely fried. The code I have in place doesn’t display like I want it to. My question is, how would I get the following codes to display properly?

For instance, this code

$toplinks = '<a href="profile.php?id=' . $userid . '">' . $username . '</a> &bull; 
    <a href="edit_profile.php">Edit info</a> &bull; 
    <a href="logout.php">Log Out</a>';

Displays perfectly when I echo it out like this

<div id="header"><?php echo "$toplinks"; ?></div>

But this code doesn’t display the same as the $toplinks

    echo '$toplinks= "<a href="register.php">Register</a> &bull; 
    <a href="login.php">Log In</a>';

This is the code I have in place as a whole

<?php
session_start();


$toplinks = "";
if (isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
    $userid = $_SESSION['id'];
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];

        $toplinks = '<a href="profile.php?id=' . $userid . '">' . $username . '</a> &bull; 
    <a href="edit_profile.php">Edit info</a> &bull; 
    <a href="logout.php">Log Out</a>';
} else {
    echo '$toplinks= "<a href="register.php">Register</a> &bull; 
    <a href="login.php">Log In</a>';

}
?>

And I try to echo these two out with this

<div id="header"><?php echo "$toplinks"; ?></div>

    <?php
session_start();

if (isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
    $userid = $_SESSION['id'];
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];

    $toplinks = '<a href="profile.php?id=' . $userid . '">' . $username . '</a> &bull; 
    <a href="edit_profile.php">Edit info</a> &bull; 
    <a href="logout.php">Log Out</a>';
} else {
    echo '<a href="register.php">Register</a> &bull; <a href="login.php">Log In</a>';
}
