Syntax for echoing link in PHP

Question

I'm trying to string together a URL and then get it to echo out a link

<?php
$url = 'https://www.google.com/#q='.$word;
echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link">' 'Google This!' '</a>';  
?>

Pretty sure it is an issue with the quotes however I'm unsure of how to fix them? Thank you!

Answer 1

echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link"> Google This! </a>';  

Answer 2

<?php
$url = 'https://www.google.com/#q='.urlencode($word);
echo '<a href="'.htmlentities($url).'" id="link">Google This!</a>';

Answer 3

echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link">' . 'Google This!' . '</a>';

要么

echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link">Google This!</a>';

Answer 4

I think the most otimized way to do that is :

<?php
$url = 'https://www.google.com/#q='.$word;
echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link">Google This!</a>';
?>

You can have more informations about strings at : http://php.net/manual/en/book.strings.php

Answer 5

First of all you have a break in your string without concatenating.

>' 'Google This!' '</

Should be:

<?php
$url = 'https://www.google.com/#q='.urlencode($word);
echo '<a href="'.$url.'" id="link">'.'Google This!'.'</a>';  
?>

Always safe to use "urlencode()" as well. See php documentation here . It makes sure all characters are safe in the URL.

Answer 6

personally all those single and double quotes drive me crazy so whenever possible i make the php variable and then echo out just what is needed in the html

<?php  $url = 'https://www.google.com/#q='.urlencode($word); ?>

<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" id="link">Google This!</a>
