Having problems displaying variables in php page

[bluefire]

when I echo "$variable<br>" ;

it shows the link perfect....

but when i create <a href="$variable ">button</a>

i get a solid white page?

How should I be doing this? All i want is to turn my variable into a clickable link!

[bluefire]

figured it out incase anyone else needs this

<a href="<?php echo "$variable" ; ?>"> LINK HERE </a>

Thanks for posting the answer back when you discovered it. In PHP there are a number of different ways to do this:
[PHP]
<a href="<?=$varia ble?>">LINK HERE</a>
[/PHP]

[PHP]
<?php
echo "<a href=""$variabl e"">LINK HERE</a>";
?>
[/PHP]

[PHP]
<?php
echo '<a href="'.$variab le.'">LINK HERE</a>';
?>
[/PHP]

What it really boils down to is that you were not calling $variable in PHP's scope (i.e. inside <?php ?> brackets).

Hope this helps.
