Help with my $variable !

I have php file that calls $url from the config.php file threw include.

I set the variable to
config

$url  = 'http://www.mysite.com/';

PHP:

Now on the the other php file I have a line like this

<a href=\"$url/images/1/\">Page 1</a>

So this would parse it and insert that variable that in there making it
<a href="http://www.mysite.com//images/1/>page 1</a>
The only problem is it puts a double // after the domain. like mysite.com//images/1
So If Remove the / and put a space then the url is broken. If I put the $url right up "images" then obviously the Variable won't work.. What should I put after $url in the that line??

 

Make it this

$url  = 'http://www.mysite.com';

PHP:

Or if you do not want to change the url variable you could do something like this:

<a href=\"".$url."images/1/\">Page 1</a>

PHP:

There is also a way to do it with {$url} but I cannot remember if it's single quotes that works or double. I don't mix html and PHP often so can't remember that one off the top of my head.

 

Thanks the ".$url." works , Actually I did think of removing the / of the Variable in the config but then I would have to go back and edit a bunch of other files.
