I don't get an error with this, but I don't get a mailto link either. I'm happy I'm no longer getting parse errors though!
caveat: this is an intranet form that will never travel outside the department. Everyone has the same email client, so using a mailto *shouldn't* get me into any trouble.

Code:
		if (mysqli_num_rows($get_admin_rs) > 0) {
 
		while ($admin_info = mysqli_fetch_array($get_admin_rs)) {
			$user = stripslashes($admin_info['username']);
			$name = stripslashes($admin_info['principal']);

			$display_block .="<li>Principal: $name";
			$display_block .="<a href='mailto:".$user."@soemwhere.com'>";
			}
			$display_block .="</ul>";
		}

Thanks, If not for this forum I would have run screaming ages ago.
 
Doh, didn't close the mailto. All of the lines after the Principal were disguised as the mailto.

Code:
			$display_block .="<li>Principal: $name";
			$display_block .="<a href='mailto:";
			$display_block .=$user;
			$display_block .="@somewhere.com'>Email $name</a>";
 
Considering you are missing half of the link tag I'm not surprised.

Code:
 $display_block .="<a href='mailto:".$user."@soemwhere.com'>[red]>>missing closing tag goes here<<[/red]";

so:

Code:
 $display_block .="<a href='mailto:".$user."@soemwhere.com'>[red]some text </a>[/red]";

Yup, that happens. I appreciate the response anyway. I didn't realized my error until I looked at the source in the browser. Once it worked I got brave enough to put it all on one line too.
Looking at the source is an easy debugger, but I often forget to use it.
