Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?

PHP Code:

<? echo '<a href=index.php?id=$id>';?> <? echo "$title"; ?>

I want it to use the table id of the record but all I get is index.php?id=$id displaying, it does what I want it to if I type directly in the the browser index.php?id=75 it will bring up record 75

This is driving me crazy

You need to place your variables in double quotes or use concatenation.

PHP Code:

<? echo "<a href='index.php?id=$id'>"; ?> 

OR

<? echo "<a href='index.php?id=" . $id ."'>"; ?>

EDIT: Spbbblt. Right, I forgot to use single quotes on my href -- fixed.

Thanks for that but unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either

Sort it now

PHP Code:

<? echo "<a href=index.php?id=$id>";?>

That worked for me

Thanks again
