please help me im a beginner

Answer 1

Replace

'<a href="'.edit_account.php?id=$val['id'].'"  class="btn btn-xs btn-info">Edit</a>'

with

'<a href="edit_account.php?id='.$val['id'].'"  class="btn btn-xs btn-info">Edit</a>'

You started concatenation from the wrong place

Answer 2

You have incorrect use of string concatenation. Also, better use double quotes when forming the link so that you wouldn't need separate concatenation for PHP variables.

<?php

echo "<a href='/edit_account.php?id=$val[id]'  class='btn btn-xs btn-info'>Edit</a>";

Answer 3

I believe the code should look something like this

<a href="<?php echo $your_url_variable?>" > your anchor text here </a>

or

echo '<a href="'.$your_url_variable.'">';

depending on where you want to insert the url
