Try echo "<a href=\"http://www.joshuaneil.com/hir/scripts/results/".$fdf_file . "\"">click here to download Non_Disclosure Agreement</a>"";
Note: Firstly variables won't be expanded if you use singe quotes see:- http://uk.php.net/types.string \ escapes the " so it is treated the character rather then the closing of the quites Secondly you aren't closing the href value with a double quote Charlie -----Original Message----- From: php_mysql@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 October 2008 19:13 To: php_mysql@yahoogroups.com Subject: [php_mysql] Simple PHP Syntex Question Hello, I am having a problem with my PHP script. This is surely a simple syntax error and I have gone almost crossed eyed trying several things to get it to work. The problem is with the following line of PHP: ---------------------------------------------------------- echo '<a href="http://www.joshuaneil.com/hir/scripts/results/'.$fdf_file,'>click here to download Non_Disclosure Agreement</a>'; ---------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that it is not generating the hyperlink for users to click on in Internet Explorer. The code is working fine in Mozilla Firefox but I need to get it to work in Internet Explorer. Below is the entire script from which the line of code from above is located. The line of code from above is not too far from the bottom of the following script. Please check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------- <?php // check that a form was submitted if(isset($_POST) && is_array($_POST) && count($_POST)){ // we will use this array to pass to the createFDF function $data=array(); // This displays all the data that was submitted. You can // remove this without effecting how the FDF data is generated. echo'<pre>POST '; print_r($_POST);echo '</pre>'; if(isset($_POST['TEXT1'])){ // the name field was submitted $pat='`[^a-z0-9\s]+$`i'; if(empty($_POST['TEXT1']) || preg_match($pat,$_POST['TEXT1'])){ // no value was submitted or something other than a // number, letter or space was included die('Invalid input for TEXT1 field.'); }else{ // if this passed our tests, this is safe $data['TEXT1']=$_POST['TEXT1']; } if(!isset($_POST['TEXT2'])){ // Why this?%2
