Error when Validating HTML that PHP code printed

Question

The line

print("<tr class='pointer' onclick=location.href='inventory.phpsetID=$setid&catID=$catID'>");

triggers errors when I validate my code:

Error: "=" in an unquoted attribute value. Probable causes: 
Attributes running together or a URL query string in an unquoted attribute value

I don't know what triggers it, and don't understand the explanation of the error.

You need to concat the string with the variable using the PHP concatenation operator .:

print "<tr class='pointer' onclick=location.href='inventory.php?setID=" . $setid . "&catID=" . $catID "'>"

Your OnClick needs to be inside quotes, and the variables should be out of the Quotes.

print("<tr class='pointer' onclick=\"location.href='inventory.php?setID=" . $setid . "&catID=" . $catID . "'>\"");

Change you code to this:

print("<tr class='pointer' onclick=\"location.href='inventory.php?setID=$setid&catID=$catID'>\"");

The attribute onlick's value should be inside quotes.
