I tried using an html link in my php but it comes up with an error:

my code is:

echo "Welcome $username." <a href="index.php"> $username </a>;
if(!empty($_SESSION['username'])){
echo " ";
}else{
echo " You do not appear to be logged in.";
}
?>
            You have <b><u>0</b></u> new messages, total 36</font></td>
              </tr>

Try:

echo "Welcome, $username. - <a href=\"index.php\">Home</a>";
if(!$_SESSION['username']){
echo "You aren't logged in";
}else{
echo "You have <b><u>0</b></u> new messages, total 36";
}
?>
           </td>
             </tr>

When you have something like echo("...."); with the double quotes you need to put \" for value stuff (links, etc...). But if you use single ones like echo('.....'); you don't have to use \".

backslash your quotes and it'll work

Yes that, or use single quotes

What darth had was just fine.
And the problem wasn't that he didn't escape the quotes in the <a>, it's that he put a quote before that, and it shouldn't have been there

echo "Welcome $username." <a href="index.php"> $username </a>;

And even though this was a simple problem, could you please provide an error report next time spyder?
