Concatenating HTML and PHP to make an image link

html, php, twitter, url

Solution

You are missing a dot after $url and the HTML quotes to generate valid code:

<?php echo "<a href = '".$url."'><img src = '".$userImage."' class = '".$class."'></a>"; ?>

Without the quotes you get:

<a href = the url><img src = user image class = the class></a>

With the quotes:

 <a href = 'the url'><img src = 'user image' class = 'the class'></a>

Problem

I'm trying to make an image into a link using PHP and HTML. The main idea is to grab user's images and screen names from Twitter, then make the image into a clickable link to their profile by building the URL and adding their screen name on the end. But I get a error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\wamp\www\fyp\tweeter3.php on line 71. This is line 71 (it's part of a foreach loop): ``` <?php echo "<a href = ".$url"><img src = ".$userImage." class = ".$class."></a>"; ?> ``` There's a syntax error in there I just can't pinpoint. These are my variables: ``` $userScreenName = $user -> screen_name; $userImage = $user -> profile_image_url; $class = "myImgClass"; $url = "https://twitter.com/".$userScreenName; ``` Can you spot the error?
