    Can anyone tell why this might not work?


    <?php if (($row_Recordset1 == "processing")){
    echo <a href="mgcancelcourse.php?registratrion=$farm">cancel</a> ; } ?>


    it is withing a table here is the full part, the first if statement works fine, but when i try and use the link i am having no luck, i can print the link just not as a hyperlink

    <?php $farm = $row_Recordset1; ?>

    <td> <?php if (($row_Recordset1 != "processing")){
    echo 'n/a' ; } ?>

    <?php if (($row_Recordset1 == "processing")){
    echo <a href="mgcancelcourse.php?registratrion=$farm">cancel</a> ; } ?>



    </td>

    You're missing some quotes around the string you're trying to echo out.

    You have to wrap any string of text in single or double quotes. If you use double quotes PHP can parse the string to replace any variables with their value.

    [PHP]

    <?php
    if (($row_Recordset1 == "processing")){
    echo "<a href=\"mgcancelcourse.php?registratrion=$farm\">cancel</a>"; }
    ?>

    [/PHP]

    Your quotes seem to be missing / messed up.

    [php]
    <?php if (($row_Recordset1 == "processing")){
    echo "<a href=\"mgcancelcourse.php?registratrion=$farm\">cancel</a>"; } ?>
    [/php]

    ^^ try that.


    //edit
    D'oh! Too slow :)

    Another way to write this could be:
    [php]
    <?php echo $row_Recordset1 == "processing" ? "<a href=\"mgcancelcourse.php?registratrion=$farm\">cancel</a>" : ""; ?>
    [/php]
