Right, sorry I left that part out because it basically depends on what you are doing.. /*** Test Page ***/ <?php $start_day = date; $end_day = date2; $display_block = "<a href=\"abc.php?day=$start_day\"> > </a><br>"; $display_block .= "<a href=\"abc.php?day=$end_day\"> < </a><br>"; ?> <html><body> <? print $display_block; ?> </body></html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I get mail........ I exist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: lists@shemeshdirectory.co.il [mailto:lists@shemeshdirectory.co.il] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 4:50 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Re: using <href=abc.php/?day=......> BECOMES: <a href="abc.php?day=$start_day"> > </a> This works only if it's within an echo statement: echo "<a href='abc.php?day=$start_day'>"; and you must make sure to either use single quotes around the href link, or else escape the double quotes with a backslash: echo "<a href=\"abc.php?day=$start_day\">"; Alternatively, you can do it this way: <a href="abc.php?day=<? echo "$start_day; ?>"> (ie embed the echo within a regular HTML tag) -Lisi ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
