syntax for including variables within a href links

[wright67uk]

$query = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM business WHERE type ='Restaurant' ORDER BY name");
echo mysql_error();
while($ntx=mysql_fetch_row($query)) $nt[] = $ntx[0];
$i = -1;
foreach($nt as $value) { $i++;	
echo $nt[$i]."<br/>";}

 

Now im trying to swap the last line;

echo $nt[$i]."<br/>";}

 

for somthing more like

echo "<a href="$nt[$i].html">$nt[$i]</a>";}

 

My syntax seems to be shot to pieces, and i recieve errors.  any ideas welcome?

 

The error i receive is "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' "

 

Many thanks.

echo "<a href="$nt[$i].html">$nt[$i]</a>";}

 

Try this...

 

echo "<a href='" . $nt[$i] . ".html'>"  . $nt[$i] . "</a>";}

This works really well, thankyou very much for your help. 

I can see one problem that Ive caused.

 

echo "<a href='" . $nt[$i] . ".html'>"  . $nt[$i] . "</a>";}

say for example if a result from my database was Fried Chicken, then I would output somthing like;

 

<a href="Fried Chicken.html">Fried Chicken</a>

 

Obviously this would produce a broken link.  Is there a way to factor out the space between Fried and Chicken within the link,

but to keep the space in the anchor text?

You could use

 

str_replace

 

to replace the space

 

If I remember it should work like this but you might need to look it up on the manual

 

echo str_replace(' ', '_', $nt[$i]);
