I'm currently trying to script something that requires me to script in PHP, of which I'm brand new to. I'm trying to make it read a specific file (that contains a number of course), and it loops through that number. I have files that should be labeled accordingly through each loop. So, if the number in the first file is '127', it loops 127 times and opens all .txt files between 1 and 127, though I can't get it to work. Here's the code: <html> <head> <title>Taco Bell</title> </head> <body> <?php $handle = fopen("forumcount.txt", "r"); $filename = fread($handle, filesize("forumcount.txt")); $i = 0; while ( $i <= $filename ) { $fi = $i . '.txt'; "<a link type="text" href="$fi" />Post $fi</a>"; $i++; } ?> </body> </html> Code (markup): Though, every time I open the page, rather than applying links, it just shows the following: Post $fi"; $i++; } ?> , as plain text. Could anyone help?
Please take a look at echo: http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_echo.asp Here is the updated line: echo "<a link type=\"text\" href=\"".$fi."\" />Post ".$fi."</a><br>"; Note how the quotes are escaped and the $fi variable is concatenated with the string.
