Problem with quoting?

[hansu]

I am trying to insert a variable $row[link] that is stored in a MySQL-Database into a webpage. So far I have not been able to quote the string correctly at href=\" ...
I keep receiving the error: ...unexpected T_VARIABLE in ...

$result = mysql_query("select link, textde from links order by link"
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ){
print(&quot;<tr valign=\&quot;top\&quot;><td><a href=\&quot; . &quot;$row[&quot;link&quot;]&quot; . \&quot;>&quot; . $row[&quot;link&quot;] . &quot;</a></td><td class=\&quot;text\&quot;>&quot; . ereg_replace(&quot;(\n|\r)+&quot;,&quot;<br>&quot;,$row[&quot;textde&quot;]) . &quot;</td></tr>&quot;
}


Thanks for your assistance.

use:
print(&quot;<tr valign=\&quot;top\&quot;><td><a href=\&quot;.&quot;$row['link']&quot;.

or better:
print(&quot;<tr valign=\&quot;top\&quot;><td><a href=\&quot;.&quot;${row['link']}&quot;.

Hi predamarcel

Your second proposal works fine. (With {...})
The first one doesn't.


Thanks for your help.

PHP does not like associative array references inside quoted strings. In any regard, it's not necessary to put bare variables inside quotes anyway.

Try:

$result = mysql_query(&quot;select link, textde from links order by link&quot;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
print '<tr valign=&quot;top&quot;><td><a href=&quot;' . $row['link'] . '&quot;>' . $row['link'] . '</a></td><td class=&quot;text&quot;>' . ereg_replace('(\n|\r)+','<br>',$row['textde']) . '</td></tr>';
}
