Hi All

this 'should' be straight forward :)

i am trying to get this to work
print "<div class ='code'><a href="$row['codeLink']">".$row['codeID']."</a></div>";

can someone sort out my mess please?

Thanks

Don't mix quotes.

print '<div class="code"><a href="'.$row['codeLink'].'">'.$row['codeID'].'</a></div>';

print "<div class ='code'><a href="$row['codeLink']">".$row['codeID']."</a></div>";

you can do this instead

print "<div class ='code'><a href=\"{$row['codeLink']}\">{$row['codeID']}</a></div>";

and for rtrim, you can use str_replace (http://php.net/str_replace)

// echoes Slalala,lalala
$string = str_replace("-", "", "Slalala,lalala-");

Also you can use

echo <<<HTML
<div class="code"><a href="$row['codeLink']">$row['codeID']</a></div>
HTML;

thanks mate, unfortunatly string replace would of worked because there were other instances of "-" in the string and it was only the end one i wanted removing, i have solved this but changing my existing preg_replace statment.

its now working fine :)

thanks
