    How do I include html script in a PHP variable for a link? For example I want to create a variable and store <a href=""> html script in it. How can I do this?

    This is what I have tried:

    PHP Code:
    
$user = "<a href="www.example.com/folder/file.php">guy</a>";
echo("$user");
    Code (markup):
    It just printed the a href=www.example.. text to the screen. :( And...

    Is there anyway I can use PHP to change the <title> tag in my html script to a PHP varible output?

    Thanks!

    You need to use different quote marks, try this

    

$string = '<a href="">Link</a>';
    Code (markup):
    When you use single quotes you can't use variables in the string either.

    This will be like this:

    $user = "<a href='http://www.website.com/directory/page.php'>your text</a>";
    echo $user;

    Just look at quotes

    Thanks,

    Jimmy

    If you want to use double quotes then you need the escape the ones in the string with \
    
$user = "<a href=\"www.example.com/folder/file.php\">guy</a>";
echo("$user");
    PHP:
    If you use single quotes on the echo it wont display the variable
    
echo '$user';
    PHP:
    will just display $user not what the variable is

    @ Narrator & Imozeb

    Theirs no need to use parenthesis around the echo, as its optional and doesnt make any difference functionality wise. Also the quotes around echo'ing a variable are also uneeded (in this case).

    Furthermore instead of escaping the OP could also look into using heredoc syntax as an alternative approach:

    html should never be done inside an echo, thats poor programing.

    Have a look at GenericFrame, there are much more powerful components. And you can insert them in the same way as HTML...

    Example:
    <?
    echo "<Button/>";
    echo "<DataGrid/>";
    ...
    ?>

    But it has single line of code components like Tree, DataGrid, Slider and so on...
    You can check the GF Explorer to see the components in action at lab.generiframe.com

<?php
echo 'HTML CODE HERE';
?>
    Code (markup):
    or


    
<?php
print 'HTML CODE HERE';
?>
    Code (markup):
    or


    
<?php
