    Add href= tag to echo

    Is it possible to add a "href=" tag to an echo line.

    Something like this:
    echo "<b>$name</b>,<br>Sorry there's a problem sending your message. Please
    try <a href="/mail.html">agai n</a>";

      Yes, it's possible. But your single line of code is flawed. You should
      really find out how strings work in PHP:
      PHP: Strings - Manual
      http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
      Strings

      (pay attention to escaping and the use of ' and ")

          Is this better ?

          echo "<b>$name</b>,<br><br>Sorr y there's a problem sending your
          message.<br> Please try ";
          echo "<a href='javascrip t:history.back( 1);'>again</a>";

              Yes. There are many ways. One of them is:

              <html>
              <?php
              echo '<b>' . htmlspecialchar s( $name ) . '</b>,<br />';
              echo 'Sorry there's a problem sending your message. ';
              echo 'Please <a href="/mail.html">try again</a>.';
              ?>
              </html>

              another:

              <html>
              <b><?php htmlspecialchar s( $name ); ?></b>,<br />
              Sorry there's a problem sending your message.
              Please <a href="/mail.html">try again</a>.
              </html>

                      Yes :)

                      Though the javascript URL is a horrible pratice.

                              BTW, the source of your original error was the the internal quotes.
                              if your string is surrounded by double quotes, it can't contain double
                              quotes (without escaping them - ie $string = "this \"is\" better";)
                              same goes with single quotes
                              $string = 'what\'s the deal';

                              unrelated: in my oppinion it's better to use single quotes

                                  Just like in your first post, a normal http url will always work. "Going
                                  back" can have side effects (just see some recent discussions (just
                                  generate a new form pre-populated with the data you just got)), there is
                                  no guarantee that there is actually an URL to go back to (the action
                                  could have been opened in a new tab/browser), javascript could have been
                                  disabled (just look at all security advisories that suggest disabling
                                  javascript as a (temporary) workaround).
