PHP Variable in <a href="$url">test</a> not working

by **makrand** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 6:01 am

Code: Select all: <html> <body> <? $url = 'file:///C:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php'; ?> <a href="<? echo "$url"; ?>"><br>test<br></a> </body> </html>

when i run the code above, the hyperlinked text appears, but when i click on it, nothing happens

. If i right-click and open in new tab, then the link works.

please let me know if i have missed out something or if i have a bug :help:

thanks in advance

Hi,

Well, the problem here is that, calling PHP as you have will not work

PHP has to be called like: http://www.domain.com/search.php

You need a server (like apache or IIS), then configure it to run PHP scripts...

Do you mean they just have to write

Code: Select all: $url = 'http://www.domainname.com/search.php';

rather than

Code: Select all: $url = 'file:///C:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php';
