In PHP I am writing:
$link = "<a href='/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs='. $cat .'>5.000€</a>";
But the value "$cat" is not showing anything. Any suggestion?
Consider that if I write in HTML:
<a href="<?php echo '/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=<?php echo $cat; ?>">5.000€</a>It works...
Probably it is something I am missing in the sintax. Thank you!
I solved like this:
<?php
$cat = $_GET['categoria_cqs'];//(to get the value from the session)
$link = "<a href='/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=$cat'>5.000€</a>";
?>
I still cannot understand why I had to get it again (in HTML it worked without it) but that is fine. Thank you for your help!
The error is in the quotes, your line should look like this:
$link = '<a href="/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs='. $cat .'">5.000€</a>';
Remember that the string must be closed with the same quotation mark as it was opened.
Additionally, remember that the character " " and ' ' can "escape" themselves, as MoarCodePlz said.
I don't know what your real purpose is, if it is to create this directly in PHP or not, but maybe the code below will help you, I created a variable that will store the website URL that will pass the $cat variable as a parameter, to see the result I used the <a> tag in html
The code would look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$cat = 'Pathname';
$link = "https://yourwebsite.com/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=' . $cat . '";
?>
<a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">5.000€</a>
</body>
</html>
If you want to get the result only in PHP, use the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$cat = 'Pathname';
$link = "<a href='/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=" . $cat . "'>5.000€</a>";
echo $link;
?>
</body>
</html>
Edit
You say that your code works only using HTML and not in PHP. Well, I've been analyzing it here and I saw that this was happening due to the fact that the file is in a directory, right? PHP was not understanding that the URL was from this directory, at least for me the error was this one in addition to the quotes
Please try the code below, I believe it will work in both PHP and HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$cat = $_GET['categoria_cqs'];
$link = '<a href="/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=' . $cat . '">5.000€</a>';
echo $link;
?>
<a href="/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs=<?php echo $cat; ?>">5.000€</a>
</body>
</html>
<?php echo $link = "<a href='/?s=cqs3&importo_desiderato=5000&categoria_cqs='. $cat .'>5.000€</a>";
