What is the PHP equivalent of <a href>?

Hi folks,

Can someone tell me what the php equivalent of <a href=""></a> is please?

Thanks

 

There is no equivalent. HTML and PHP are two separate things. You can redirect in PHP via a header() call, but that's not an anchor link.

 

PHP is a scripting language whereas html is used to format pages. But you can use the <a href with PHP, for example

<?php

echo "<a href='url'>your link here</a>";

?>

Or if you want to redirect the user to another page using PHP

<?php

header('Location: http://www.website.com/');

?>

 

Thanks for the replies, I'm learning as I go!

This is what I was trying to do...

echo "Google = <a href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=link:".$url."&filter=0' target='_blank'>".google_backlink($url)."</a><br />";

PHP:

 

PHP 101 is the first tutorial i have ever read about php. And as you go on, you realize something is missing. You need MySQL to further increase the power of php.

 

$Google = "<a href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=link:".$url."&filter=0' target='_blank'>".google_backlink($url)."</a><br />";

Then to call it later:

echo $Google;
