Hi,
what about this:
<?PHP
$strHref = $row_rsViewLinks['linkLink'];
$strLinkName = $row_rsViewLinks['linksName'];
$strCode = $strHref != NULL ? "< a
href=\"".$strHref."\">".$strLinkName."</a>\n" : $strLinkName;
echo $strCode;
?>
If you want to reduce the php code within html code you might want to
implement that as a function on top of your php script or in a separate
script called e.g. myfuncs.php which you can then include in every page
where you need it like
function getLink($row) {
$strHref = $row['linkLink'];
$strLinkName = $row['linksName'];
$strCode = $strHref != NULL ? "< a
href=\"".$strHref."\">".$strLinkName."</a>\n" : $strLinkName;
return $strCode;
}
Then just call the function where you need:
echo getLink($row_rsViewLinks);
Sorry, I can't test this all now but it should work :)
