Make PHP echo

Question

I'm trying to make a value that is retrieved using `$row` hyperlinked to another page, but I can't figure out why it isn't working. The area specifically is; ``` ``` Here is what I am using; ``` " . $row['ID'] . "; ?> ``` How come that doesn't work?

Accepted Answer

```
<?php echo <a
```

You need to pass a string to `echo`. You can't just start writing HTML in the middle of PHP.

That said, it is generally easier to minimise the amount of HTML in PHP in HTML that you can.

```
<td>
    <a href='edit-dispatch-report.php?id=<?php echo $row['ID']; ?>'>
        <?php echo $row['ID']; ?>
    </a>
</td>
```

Make PHP echo <a href= link>
